Back in March, ZaCSA held its Annual Auction to raise money for scholarships in our community. One of the auction items up for bid was a Progressive Dinner at the homes of MG Pasquarette, COL Johnson, COL Grabski, and CSM Dumont-Carrion. The winning bidders enjoyed dinner courses served in each host's home, and the dinner and company all looked wonderful! We sincerely hope this item comes up for bid again at the next annual auction!

Heart of the Community Award

Amy Litka

On June 8, ZaCSA honored Mrs. Amy Litka as a Heart of the Community Award recipient for her significant impact on the Camp Zama Community. Amyâ€™s many rolls in the community included ZaCSAâ€™s People to People representative, VBS director, head coach of the peewee soccer team, religious education teacher for the Catholic Church, and various positions within the Girl Scouts. She will be greatly missed here at Zama, but we are excited for her as her family embarks on their next adventure! To read the full nomination, please click here. <<<

ZaCSA Giving Back!

On June 2nd, ZaCSA presented scholarships to 26 Zama American High School seniors, totaling over $19,000. These were made possible due to the amazing Zama community who supported ZaCSA in all of our fundraising efforts during the 2015-2016 membership year.
