We Can’t Thank You Enough

Once again the annual Probonathon sponsored by the Nassau County Bar Association successfully raised over $48,000 in donations for the Volunteer Lawyers Project. The phone bank was held at NCBA headquarters and for three days in December 2003, Past Presidents, Committee Chairs, Board of Directors, members and staff of the Nassau County Bar Association along with Jeff Seigel, Rita Linchitz, and Lori Cersosimo of Nassau/Suffolk Law Services, participated in the annual Probonothon to raise money for the Volunteer Lawyers Project.

This fundraiser always receives overwhelming support from the members of the Nassau Bar Association. The We Care Fund, Inc. of NCBA generously granted the Project $10,000 in matching funds, as it has done for years. "The volunteers did a super job of eliciting donations," declared Miriam Pismeny, VLP’s Managing Attorney “I’m grateful to all of them."

Thanks again for the generous support from all our friends. It is so crucial in sustaining our services to the community!
