For weeks we have seen news accounts of the devastation in Puerto Rico following deadly Hurricane Maria as well as the horrific earthquake suffered in Mexico that left hundreds dead. We as lawyers must come together to try to do something. If we can’t make it down to those areas to help them, we can help with our financial support so that the basic needs of these people can be met.
Please do all that you can to help those in need. And join us with some of the city’s leaders as we gather to continue to raise awareness to this most worthy cause.
Thank you.
