A large thank you to all of the members of the Peoria County Bar Association who attended the 2018 (15th Annual) Diversity Luncheon. We were treated to an excellent speech by the Honorable Tim Evans and a surprise introduction of the speaker by our own 3rd District Justice, Tom Kilbride. In addition, the 2018 awardees of the Robert Jennetten Diversity Scholarship were announced. It was a great event for the Association. As usual, Linda and Stephanie did a wonderful job of assisting Chair Peter Jennetten and the Diversity Committee in putting this event together.
I also want to congratulate Chair Logan Block, Race Chair Mike Fleming and the Fitness, Health and Wellness Committee on another outstanding Strides for Justice on September 29th. Thank you to all who participated in that event.
The Association made its annual contribution to the United Way for the benefit of the Campaign for Legal Services in the amount of $3,500.00 in October. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lenny Sachs for bringing this opportunity to the Board a few years ago and for his working with the UW to make sure that the maximum in contributions ended up in the hands of those needing an access to justice.
Wishing all of our members and their families a happy and joyful Thanksgiving.
