So often I find that I am humbled by the vision and commitment of the individuals that come to us for help with their nonprofit organizations. We offer them some legal assistance; in exchange, they give our community hope and help in a myriad of ways. What a bargain!

This past year we were fortunate to spend time working on behalf of ninety organizations. I cannot begin to share even a fraction of this activity in our annual report. The best I can offer is a small glimpse of a few of our clients and volunteer attorneys that provided assistance.

Our board of directors also deserves mention here. They are an extraordinary group of individuals, and I am grateful for their faithful support and unflagging spirit.
