MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTLet us hope this Spring weather is here to stay this time as I certainly did not appreciate snow in the middle of April ! I hope you are able to take advantage of our first ever virtual CLE presentation, 'Who's Bias, The truth About Implicit Bias', courtesy of the Underwood Committee. This CLE hour is approved for the hard to get Diversity and Inclusion Professional Responsibility credit. It is scheduled for tomorrow. Please see the registration LINK below. If the current restrictions remain in place heading into the Summer, we would anticipate that Retired Judge David Butler's presentation on Collections will be presented virtually on Tuesday, July 21st. As things in our community are starting to open up with a working plan toward normalcy, I remain hopeful that we can once again see each other in group settings. To that end, we will keep you advised of the specifics of the Bar's Annual meeting, currently scheduled for June 16th, as we draw closer. There is the potential for it to be moved out a maximum of 30 days. This past week, we had ordered and delivered 40 boxed lunches/meals to our brave healthcare workers at Advocate BroMenn. I was informed that the staff was appreciative of the such giving spirit and looked forward to lunch when things are so upside down at the moment. This week, we will be doing the same with OSF St. Joseph Medical Center. Please continue to keep all of our front line workers and first responders in your thoughts. I am exploring additional charitable opportunities. Lastly, nominations remain open for The Outstanding Young Lawyer Award. The deadline is April 30 and there is a LINK below. Continue to Be well and Be safe. Best regards, Joe Foley announcementI hope everyone is doing well during this challenging time. Prairie State Legal Services is fully staffed and accepting cases. Our physical office is closed. Our staff are working from home. Our staff’s contact information has not changed. Please contact Adrian at [email protected] or (309) 433-0065 if you have any questions. Adrian Barr 2020

Remember to have “Breakfast with the Bar” every Friday morning between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. It’s a great way to meet and talk with your fellow attorneys in an informal setting. Stay for 10 minutes and have a cup of coffee or stay for an hour and have a full breakfast before court. Grab an associate, partner or friend and come. See you Friday!
