ACYL Service Opportunities

W
e are excited to have kicked off our signature
fundraiser, The Associates Campaign for Legal
Services, with a happy hour at Ri Ra at the end of
July. We had a great turnout and have high expectations
to really come through for legal service organizations with
increased associate participation and matching donations
from their respective law firms. The Campaign will continue
through October 31, 2012. Thanks in large part to our firm
campaign coordinators (listed below), we have already
received commitments from multiple law firms to match the
funds raised by their respective associates. Please take a
minute to recognize the associate(s) in your firm for their
service and ask how you can donate/contribute. If you do
not see your firm listed below, please contact Jonathan Smith
of Scoggins & Goodman at ([email protected]) or Rick Bold
