Community News
On July 12th at the Partner Appreciation Event, Foundation President Pete Sackleh & Trustee, Sabine Curto presented the 2006/2007 Charity Emmaus Services for the Aging with a check for $42,250. Grace Fuller & Rev. Williams gladly accepted the donation which was raised at the 2007 Fundraiser aboard the Odyssey.
Salvation Army Angel Tree Program
Each year the Chapter works with the Salvation Army in their Angel Tree Program. During the holiday season, individuals and local law firms "adopt" angels (children) and provide them with gifts that they might otherwise not receive during this special season. Over the past several years, the number of angels that have been adopted by the ALA has increased and in 2005 numbered over 1200. This is a very exciting project and seeing the faces on the families when they receive their packages is overwhelming. Members of the Chapter volunteer to work with the Salvation Army to distribute the packages to the children.
