Gosh, that’s a lot of pin backs… I really admire people who give of their expertise to help those in need. ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com
Thanks for making me aware of all those pin backs…lol I admire those people as well!
Such a worthy cause! When I practiced law, I worked at Legal Aid for many years, and there is a gap in representation that only volunteers can fill (particularly in the family law area).
