PBCBA BAR BULLETINS JULY | AUGUST 2020 | Page 11

COVID-19 Drive to Benefit the Palm Beach County Food Bank a Tremendous Success! Due to the Coronavirus, the Bar’s 98th annual Installation Banquet was cancelled. Instead of members buying tickets and fancy dresses to attend the gala, we asked for a donation of food, grocery store gift cards, or a monetary donation all to benefit the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Thanks to our incredibly generous members our lobby filled up with food in no time! A special thank you to all our members for making a difference. Our North County Section made a special delivery too! Dean Xenick accepted their gifts from L to R: Brett Barner (Director); Misty Chaves, (President-Elect), and Wayne Richter (President) John Pankauski and Andrew Kwan donated more than a dozen commercial sized cans of sauce and more! Scott Smith delivered an entire truck load of food and paper products. Thank you Scott Smith Injury Law for your generous donation! Some of our members wrote handwritten notes to families receiving our groceries and gift cards. David Tolces and Odette Bendeck took the time to write notes of encouragement, which will be given directly to families in need. Thank you for your cards – David and Odette! Thank you to our Young Lawyers for always being there when help is needed. L to R: Scott Perry (President); Lauren Johnson (Secretary), and Robbie Wight (President-Elect) PBCBA BAR BULLETIN 11
