Book 'Em 2008

Dear Colleague:

 As you are aware, for several years your Bar Foundation, with the assistance of the Bar Association’s Community Outreach Committee, has provided a new book to each kindergarten student in the Reading School District. Together we accomplished a wonderful project for our community.

 

  With your continued support we can again reach out to the city’s kindergarteners by providing them with a free copy of I Just Forgot. This project can help these youngsters develop their reading skills and assist them in starting their own library. Please consider making a donation, in any amount, to this worthwhile project.

 
This is an excellent example of the good work lawyers do in the community. Please return your positive response on the form below at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your anticipated support!
