At CASA of St. Croix County, our Board remains deeply committed to ensuring
that every child who has experienced abuse or neglect has a strong advocate by
their side. This mission is at the heart of every decision we make and every
initiative we support.
This past year has been a powerful reminder of what can happen when a
community comes together for its most vulnerable members. From the inspiring
stories shared at our Stand Up for Kids! Gala to the tireless work of our volunteer
advocates, we have seen firsthand the difference your support makes. Every hour
volunteered, every dollar donated, and every conversation about CASA helps
change the path of a child’s life.
As we look forward, we invite you to continue standing with us, whether through
volunteering, financial support, or spreading awareness. Together, we can ensure
that every child feels safe, valued, and heard.
On behalf of the Board, we also want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate
Kate Avoles, who is retiring from her role as a board member. Kate has been an
unwavering champion for CASA’s mission, lending her time, expertise, and heart
to strengthen our organization and the lives of the children we serve. Her
leadership has left a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for her years of
service. Please join us in wishing Kate all the best in this next chapter.
Thank you for your continued partnership and belief in our mission. Together, we
are making a difference….one child at a time.

Farewell to Kate Avloes
It is with deep gratitude and sadness that we say goodbye to Kate
Avoles, Board Member and Secretary for CASA of St. Croix County, Inc.
Since joining our Board in November 2022, right after our founding,
Kate has played a pivotal role in guiding our growth and strengthening
our mission. Her insight, knowledge and tireless commitment have
helped expand our network and build lasting support for CASA.
Kate, on a personal note, I would like to speak from the heart. You have
helped me grow in my position. You counseled me and offered
encouragement when I was at my wit’s end. You always have a great
and poignant view, which I have appreciated. I am sure I have not
thanked you enough for your help. I appreciate your professional
guidance, but more than that, your friendship.
We will see you around Kate.
-Sean Kinsella
CASA of St. Croix County Bids Farewell to Board

Howard’s contributions reflect his lifelong dedication to justice and community, and we are
deeply appreciative of the time and energy he devoted to CASA. While we will miss his presence
on the board.
Thank you, Howard, for your unwavering support and for helping us give a voice to the most

CASA hosted a fun and energetic Volunteer Appreciation Bowling Event
to celebrate our incredible advocates. The evening was filled with
laughter, friendly competition, and heartfelt recognition of the dedicated
individuals who make a difference in the lives of children every day. It
was a wonderful opportunity for staff and volunteers to connect, unwind,
and honor the commitment and compassion our advocates bring to their
work. We are grateful for each and every one of them, and this event was
a small way to say thank you for the big impact they make.

Volunteer Spotlight
Amanda Marg
My name is Amanda Marg. I completed my CASA training at the
end of 2022. I first heard of and became interested in CASA
when I was in college so I was excited when I read about CASA
in St. Croix County. I am just finishing my third CASA
placement. It has been an eye opening, humbling and learning
experience being involved with children in the court system. I
am thankful for the social workers, the GAL, the judges and for
everyone involved in CASA.
I grew up in West Lafayette, Indiana. I received an Industrial
Engineering degree from Iowa State University and began
working at 3M in Cottage Grove, MN where I met my husband,
Andy. We moved five times with 3M (including Michigan,
Indiana and Ontario). We moved to the Hudson area in 2009.
Our four daughters graduated from River Falls High School. We
have three grandchildren.
No matter where we lived I was able to find people to play
volleyball with. I continue to play a lot of volleyball now –
including traveling to the National Senior Games. I also enjoy
hiking, reading and spending time with my family. We attend
church at The River Church in River Falls.

A BIG Thank You toour Volunteers!
Elmore’s message deeply resonated with attendees, emphasizing that every
child deserves to be truly seen, heard, and valued. He highlighted how the
presence of one caring advocate can change a child’s entire life trajectory—
echoing the core mission of CASA volunteers.
The event not only raised awareness but also significantly strengthened
community commitment to child advocacy. Guests left with a renewed sense
of purpose, inspired to take action, support CASA programs, and champion
the well-being of vulnerable children. Overall, the GALA stood as a powerful
reminder of the difference one caring adult—and one unified community—
can make.
This year, our CASA GALA delivered an inspiring and
impactful evening dedicated to strengthening
advocacy for children in the child welfare and foster
care system. This year’s keynote speaker, Gaelin
Elmore, shared his powerful personal story of growing
up in foster care—an experience marked by instability,
resilience, and ultimately transformation. His candid
reflections shed light on the emotional realities
children face and the critical need for consistent,
compassionate adult support.

End the year by Standing Up for Kids! You Can Help.
As we close out the year, we reflect on the children in our community who need
someone to stand by their side. Gaelin Elmore said, “Children don’t owe you a
thing. It is adults who owe children.” At CASA of St. Croix, our volunteers advocate
for children who have experienced abuse or neglect—ensuring they have a voice
in court and a chance for a brighter future.
Meet Emma
When Emma entered foster care at age 7, she felt scared and alone. She had been
moved to three different homes in just six months. Then she met her CASA
volunteer, Sarah. Sarah became Emma’s consistent voice—attending every court
hearing, speaking up for her needs, and making sure she stayed in the same
school. Today, Emma is thriving in a safe, permanent home because someone like
you made it possible for Sarah to be there.
This holiday season, you can make that same difference for another child. Your
gift provides a child with a trained advocate who will fight for their best interests,
every step of the way.
Please make your year-end gift today. Together, we can
ensure every child feels heard and valued.
