Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 10 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the Wake County Bar Association's Public Service Festival! The WCBA has teamed up with Alliance Medical Ministry to provide a day of service, fun, and legal advice to their patients and the local community. The festival will be located at Alliance Medical Ministry, 101 Donald Ross Drive, Raleigh (off New Bern Avenue near WakeMed).

This is a family-friendly event so you're encouraged to bring your spouse and children to help out! We'll have several different areas where you can volunteer and get involved such as:
(1) Walk with a Doctor (1-mile walk with patients)
(2) Work in the community garden
(3) Provide "Call-For-All-like" legal services (i.e.: consumer, immigration, criminal,
domestic violence, landlord/tenant, worker's comp, personnel/employment, etc.)
(4) Voter registration
(5) Collection drives for office supplies, over-the-counter medicines and medical
items that Alliance needs; and books for children
(6) Donations for prizes/giveaways for the patients and visitors
(7) Activities for kids
(8) A community education program regarding the lives of the economically
disadvantaged in Wake County
(9) Read with community children who can then take gently used books we
donate home with them.

The goal of this event is to serve Alliance and our local community and to allow an opportunity for every attorney in the WCBA to participate, whether they're in a private firm, solos or work in areas of the government where they cannot provide legal advice to the public. We really need your help both the day of and in preparation for our Inaugural Annual WCBA Public Service Fair. If you would like to assist on the committee, please feel free to contact the Public Service Fair Chair Ashleigh Dunston at ashleighparkerdunston@gmail.com.
