Legal Aid of NC to have "Open House" at its Gastonia office on October 27
October 22, 2009 Media Release
(Gastonia,
NC) – In recognition of the National Pro Bono Celebration Week,
Legal Aid of
North Carolina (LANC) will have an open house for attorneys at
its new
Gastonia office on Tuesday, October 27, 5:00-6:30 pm.
Refreshments will be served.
"Although we actually moved in June to our new office at
1508 S. York Road, it has taken several months to properly up
fit the office while continuing to provide legal services to our
clients," said Sharon Dove, managing attorney. "National Pro Bono
Celebration Week provides an ideal time to invite and thank our pro
bono attorneys for their support of our clients and our mission to
provide free legal advice to low-income persons in civil matters."
A formal invitation has been mailed to members of the Bars and
Judiciary of Judicial Districts 27A (Gaston County) and 27B
(Cleveland County and Lincoln County).
National Pro Bono Celebration Week is scheduled for October 25
through 31, 2009 and is sponsored by the ABA Standing Committee on
Pro Bono and Public Service. The celebration is a coordinated
national effort to showcase the great difference that pro bono
lawyers make to the nation, its system of justice, its communities
and, most of all, to the clients they serve. The week is also
dedicated to the quest for more pro bono volunteers to meet the
ever-growing legal needs of this country's most vulnerable citizens.
