Open House benefits Rainbow Room

The Cass County District Clerk’s Office turned into a magical train station last week as the community was invited to attend the 8th Annual Christmas Open House to benefit the “Rainbow Room.” The reception was held Dec. 7 and featured a “Polar Express” theme” complete with railroad tracks, an engine and District Clerk Jamie Albertson dressed as the engineer.
The Rainbow Room provides basic emergency needs of children served by Child Protective Services of Cass County.
The Rainbow Room is located at the Children’s Protective Services office in Atlanta. Oftentimes the donations are provided to help battered women and children who have to escape a situation with little more than the clothes on their backs.
The tradition of the district clerk’s office hosting the open house began when current County Judge Becky Wilbanks served as clerk. Albertson continued the tradition when she took office in 2015.
Guests were invited to bring a donation of an item on the CPS wish list, or a cash donation. Donations of infant and toddler items, school supplies, hygiene products, new and used clothes for tots and teens, cleaning supplies and household items are needed.
