The following teams participated:

• Big Valley and Friends

• CSEA Education Foundation Scholarship Committee
• North Bay Chapter – 2nd Place Winner
• Orange County Chapter – 3rd Place Winner

A Murder Mystery Dinner – Fundraising Event

Posted on February 6, 2015 by asoy

An Elite group of CSEA Members surprised the audience with a Murder Mystery Dinner at the CSEA Member dinner Saturday,  January 10 as an Education Foundation Fundraiser Event. Their brilliant acting and dramatic scenes of "Who Shot Don Santaclausio" made for a wonderful experience for all guests to enjoy.  Who knew CSEA Members were holding out on such talent. The evening was filled with laughter and suspense on what would happen next. The laughter and enjoyment carried on to the next morning, as you could hear CSEA Members talking among themselves about the prior night’s event and how great the Murder Mystery Dinner was.
