MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTI certainly hope you had the opportunity to visit and enjoy Bruegala this past weekend. On behalf of the Bar and Prairie State Legal Services, I wanted to give a big shout out to all of you who volunteered your time and muscles to the fest as the Jaycees were very appreciative of the help. Please see a few photos below. This week, I hope everyone has registered for the CLE Luncheon on Tuesday, August 20. Senator Jason Barickman will present AN OVERVIEW OF THE CANNABIS REGULATION AND TAX ACT. This will offer a 1 hour general CLE credit. Next week, we have TWO Happy Hours, both beginning at 5:00 pm, namely the Social Committee's at Keg Grove on August 29th and The Young Lawyers' at Nightshop on August 30th. A member of our Bar community passed away last week. David Spence was an Assistant States Attorney in McLean County for the last few years of his career. He was dedicated and contributed much during his short time with McLean County. He will be missed. More information is displayed below. Lastly, a friendly reminder to reach out to a 2nd or 3rd year law student to apply for our $2500 Law Student Scholarship. Again, it is targeted toward law students who have roots in McLean County and plan to stay in the area to practice. The application process will begin shortly. Have a great week !

bruegala 2019
Thank you to all of those who volunteered to help at Bruegala. Prairie State Legal Services had great support from the MCBA and a great turnout by MCBA members. The Bloomington-Normal Jaycees told me that they were so impressed with the support for PSLS and our volunteers. It was a great showing by the local legal community. Your support helped to increase the amount of funds Prairie State Legal Services will receive from Bruegala. Everyone looked great in their Prairie State t-shirts.
Thank you so much! Adrian Barr
