MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTFamily Day will be held on Sunday June 9th from 2pm-6pm at the Corn Crib. Not only can you and your family enjoy a softball game between your Bar Association and the Champaign County Bar but I am happy to announce that the Zoo lady and her crew will also be there from 3pm-5pm painting faces and blowing up balloon animals! You and your kids can also take a crack at hitting a floating baseball at the “Swing and Score” Baseball Game provided by “Fun on the Run.” And if you are hungry or thirsty the Corn Crib will open up one of their concession stands for us. Hope you can join us. It will be fun.
Paul Lawrence P. S. Our softball team is nameless. Do you have a suggestion?? Let me know if you do. Thank you to all the attorneys, paralegals and legal secretaries who volunteered their time at the April 27 Legal Advice Fair. This semi-annual event offers free advice to low income persons on a variety of civil legal issues. Thirty-five (35) people received legal advice from pro bono attorneys on issues ranging from family law, bankruptcy/debtor relief, consumer law, criminal record relief, employment law, wills and estates, driver’s license reinstatement, landlord/tenant law and immigration law. Not bad for 3 hours! We had 31 volunteers. Attorneys: George Boyle, Brendan Bukalski, Tristan Bullington, Mark Cavanaugh, Jeff Crabill, Tim Eckhardt, Randy Ehlers, Aaron Galloway, Ryan Gammelgard, Kristin Givens, Carrie Haas, Doug Johnson, Jenna Kearns, Stuart Kenney, Nargis Khokhar, Wendy Maulson, Steve McManus, Keesha-Lu Mitra, Justi Miller, Todd Miller, Fred Moore, Alan Novick, and Sharon Ware. Paralegals/Legal Secretaries: Nichole Byers, Susan Harris, Emily Lewis-Gerig, Carolyn Pitts, Jennifer Redd, Denise Risinger, Chris Schmidt, and Stacy Smith. We would also like to thank our partners for this event -- Central Illinois Paralegal Association, Eleventh Judicial Circuit Pro Bono Committee/PILI, The Immigration Project, McDonald's, McLean County Bar Association, Mid Central Community Action, State Farm Bank and State Farm Corporate Law Department. member
