Our selected charities were: The House Institute, a leader in the advancement of hearing health; World Central Kitchen, a not-for-profit, non- governmental organization devoted to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters; and Motion Picture Television Fund, an organization offering a variety of services that can provide emotional and financial relief to the entertainment industry's members and their families during times of need. We are also delighted to have had such an exceptional honored filmmaker, George Clooney, who is also a generous contributor to the World Central Kitchen and MPTF. Cinema Audio Society launched a YouTube channel that presents exclusive content produced by our Social Media Committee, chaired by Amanda Beggs CAS and Michael Wynn CAS. Our first videos include exclusive interviews with many of the award-winning mixers of our 57th CAS Awards. Visit our channel, like us, and subscribe today! By the time you read this, we will also have had our virtual event exploring Sohonet's ClearView Flex technology. Check our website under the "Events" heading for a recording of the event, as well as past events. Your Board is exploring ways to increase your member benefits. We are currently seeking event opportunities outside of the L.A. area, either with other entertainment or sound-based community organizations or members interested in planning a local CAS member event.
