Food Truck TUESDAYS
Remember that wonderful feeling you got in elementary school when you reached a new level of reading or mastered a new skill? We want to be sure that the children in the Allendale-Fairfax Schools get that same warm feeling and maybe a little prize! The Allendale-Fairfax Education Foundation is increasing its tutoring effort and we are going to help!
How you ask? Simple- it is all about the TIPS! Tips received during each of the 4 Tuesdays when a different food truck arrives on Pickens St and sells delicious food (between 12 and 2) will be donated to help the Foundation buy incentives for the kids.
Venezuelan arepas, tacos, burgers and salads- each week a different truck with a different cuisine. Make plans to ignore that lunch bag on Tuesdays in September!
Welcome Class of 2022
Looking forward to explaining the many benefits of being involved with the Pro Bono Program on Thursday, August 15th at 2:15. I love presenting this speech to the new students.
Hopefully they will enjoy the Pro Bono Program Movie, 2019 showing in the Perrin Lobby during lunch on Thursday. A visual reminder of how important Pro Bono if the profession and to law school experience.

New semester, New Pro Bono Opportunity
The Pro Bono Program has agreed to work with the national organization, Root and Rebound. They work to address the barriers faced by those who have been incarcerated. Communities can help as can policies that promote self-sufficiency. Students will initially be working on research and drafting of a resource library. Other activities include research on policy changes and participation in public information sessions. This is not a program for everyone. Plan on talking with the Pro Bono Program if you are at all interested not only helping this population but also reentry issues.
