All Pro Dad- Good News/ Bad News

I want to extend an apology for All Pro Dad this morning. Over 140 were in attendance- fabulous news!!! However, we were in the Family Resource Room portable and only had food for 75- bad news.
Mr. Slayers, Mrs. Dunn, and I are developing some ideas to vary the program and give us some more space- again great news. Food will NOT be an issue next time either.
We appreciate every parent who participated or attempted to participate this morning. The issue will be resolved!!!

*I only had around 25 RSVP's. Please try to remember to do this so that I do not plan for so few people next time. Don't feel bad if you didn't- we are thrilled you came and we had such a great turn out!!! Just something to do next time.
Thank you,
Emily Graves

Subject: Justice for Our Neighbors Pro Bono Attorney Clinic Sign-up

Dear Pro Bono Attorneys,

Thank you again for your interest in volunteering with Justice for Our Neighbors to help serve young people eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and thanks to the attorneys who offered their legal services at Saturday’s legal clinic.  We served 200+ in information sessions and advised over 60 individuals about their DACA applications.  While the clinic was scheduled to end at 3:00, it actually wrapped up around 5:00, so it was a long day, but lots of youth and parents left happy.

We would like to have at least 10 attorneys at each session. I know that many of you signed up for a clinic on one of the training days, but if you weren’t able to sign up then, or if you would like to sign up for any additional clinics, please let me know which day you prefer—the schedule is below.

Again, thank you all so much for your generosity with your time as we work to provide services to the young people in our community.

Sincerely,

Adrienne Kittos
