President's Corner

It has been a wonderful year for the Mary Leonard Law Society and I am so proud of all the we have accomplished.

The Monte Carlo Casino Night on May 11, 2012, was a lot of fun and we raised much-needed funding for Liberty House and the Mid Valley Women's Crisis Service. Thank you to those who joined us for this special event and to our generous sponsors:

Saalfeld Griggs PC, Entertainment Sponsor
Marion County Bar Association, Supporting Sponsor
Heltzel Williams Law Firm, Table Sponsor
Dean L. Allen, CPA, CVA, CFFA of Pacific Valuation & Forensics, Table Sponsor

In May 2012, we held elections for the 2012-13 board. MLLS is very excited to welcome our new board members: Claudette Rushing, Maureen McGee, Allison Banwarth, and Meg Rowe. The complete MLLS board for the 2012-13 year is available under the "Board Members" tab.

DONATE TO MARION-POLK FOOD SHARE IN 2012

A big 'THANK YOU' to everyone who turned out for the December 2012 Child Abuse Reporting CLE!

Winter is a particularly difficult time for many in need in our community. The Marion-Polk Food Share plays a critical role in providing resources and assistance to so many. Because we understand that every little bit helps, the Mary Leonard Law Society donated the proceeds of the December 2012 CLE to the Marion-Polk Food Share - over $400 - and attendees generously offered non-perishable and canned food items.

Although the holiday season is over, the need is not. Please join us in giving to the Food Share this winter!

Donations can be made out to the Marion-Polk Food Share and mailed to the Food Share at 1660 Salem Industrial Dr NE, Salem, OR 97301. Donations can also be made by visiting the Food Share's website: http://www.marionpolkfoodshare.org/Donate/tabid/531/Default.aspx.

For more information on how to donate food, time, or other resources, contact Linda Kromer at the Food Share: 503-581-3855, ext. 315 or lkromer@marionpolkfoodshare.org.
