Introducing the Casey’s Pond Advisory Committee!
Casey’s Pond staff and residents are thriving thanks to you and your support! At the conclusion of the community-wide fundraising campaign to save Casey’s Pond, an Advisory Committee was established to oversee the distribution of the funds raised. The Advisory Committee consists of Northwest Colorado Health Board members and staff, Yampa Valley Community Foundation Board members and staff, and four members of the broader community, including a family member of a Casey’s Pond resident. The Committee meets regularly and receives updates on operations, financials and communications. We are extremely grateful for this commitment to the future of Casey’s Pond.
