AVLF Winetasting
23RD ANNUAL AVLF WINETASTING
E
ach year, the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation’s
Winetasting celebrates the Atlanta legal community’s
commitment to pro bono service.
the Winetasting generated $485,000 for AVLF’s pro bono
programs that promote equal access to justice for the lowincome residents of Atlanta.
On November 6, the 23rd Annual Winetasting took place at
the World of Coca-Cola, a fabulous event space and museum
with a variety exhibits that show the evolution of the Coca-Cola
Company. Guests enjoyed champagne, white and red wines,
and three liquors donated through United Distributors, and the
evening was catered by A Divine Event. Of particular interest
to many who attended was The World of Coca-Cola’s Taste-It!
Room, where guests had the opportunity to experiment with
the combination of whiskeys and soft drinks from around the
world. (Who knew that Tennessee whiskey and Coke’s Thai
Habu went so well together?)
The Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, Inc., was created
in 1979 through the joint efforts of the Atlanta Legal Aid
Society, the Atlanta Bar Association, the Atlanta Council of
Younger Lawyers, and the Gate City Bar Association to offer
lawyers an opportunity to provide civil legal representation
for the poor. Since then, AVLF has provided representation
for indigent clients through the efforts of volunteer private
attorneys, its student clinical program, and various outreach
programs.
