CBA Members Grab the Holiday Spirit and Get Ready to Celebrate Young Lawyers Set to Celebrate at Annual Holiday Social

Make a Child’s Holiday a Little Brighter... Fulfill a Wish through the Dear Santa Letter program Help a child enjoy the holidays...answer a Dear Santa Letter! This holiday season, the Young Lawyers Section is distributing “Dear Santa” letters provided by Direct Effect Charities, a group that receives thou- sands of letters from disadvantaged youth from Chicago Public Schools requesting gifts from Santa. Here’s how it works: select a letter, purchase a few items the child has requested (approx. $25 or less), and mail the package directly to the child’s school. Letters will be available to be picked up at the CBA in mid-November (stop by our 1st floor bookstore). If you would like to distribute letters at your firm in bulk (10+ letters), email yls@chicagobar.org. Complete instructions will be attached to the letter. Come share your professional knowledge during fast-paced, facilitated discussions while making personal connections with other professionals. The CBA’s YLS invites members to a complimentary Attorney & Military Veteran Speed Networking Event on December 5, from 6:00-8:00 p.m., at Amata Law Office Suites, 77 W. Wacker, Suite 4500, Chicago, IL. After networking, enjoy complimentary drinks and appetizers and continue to connect with others. RSVP at www.chicagobar. org/cle or call 312/554-2056.
