Mi Casa Es Su Casa, a women-driven mixer established to celebrate the success of local women in our community, was originally a pro- gram of the Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. The event is now a program of the United Corpus Christi Chamber of Com- merce Foundation. The Foundation is a 501(c) (3) supporting organization of the United Cor- pus Christi Chamber of Commerce. Proceeds from Mi Casa Es Su Casa benefit the Mano a Mano Scholarship Program. This schol- arship was initiated to encourage students to continue their education in the Coastal Bend and promote the growth of a locally educated workforce. After the quickly approaching March 22 event honoring Margie Rose, the next Mi Casa Es Su Casa quarterly series will take place from June 2018 to March 2019. Future honorees include Dr. Kelly Quintanilla, President of TAMUCC, June 13, 2018; Paulette Kluge, CEO of the CC CVB, October 24, 2018; Catrina Wilson, President & CEO of the United Way of the Coastal Bend, January 2019; and Mi- chelle Unda, Public Affairs Representative for NuStar Energy, March 2019. Sponsorship opportunities for 2018-2019 Mi Casa Es Su Casa events are currently available to C2C Pre-Sale participants and will be available to all members during the Commit 2 Commerce (C2C) Sponsorship Campaign taking place from April 16- May 25.
