Good Morning,
Thank you for volunteering for the Arcadia event. Unfortunately we had to cancel the November 3rd WFH event in Arcadia due to some department changes that caused a shift and increase in duties of key people for the event. We are planning our 2019 event and will keep you on our emailing list and hope you will be able to volunteer again.
Again thank you so much for volunteering! Everyone have a great holiday season over the next few months. Be safe.

Join in the fun! The Young Lawyers have laid down the gauntlet and we accept the challenge. Support Legal Aid and have some fun while you do it. See below for details on the raffle – drawings will be at the Legal Aid Golf Classic. I hear that in other years it was pretty easy to win.

For the past three years, they challenged all four MBA Sections and the Montgomery County Paralegal Association to sell as many raffle tickets as possible.
So far, the Young Lawyers Section has swept the challenge, winning all three years. In that time, over $10,000 has been raised in ticket sales alone – all of it going to Legal Aid of Southeastern PA!
Let’s make sure the Paralegals sweep this year!!!
Tickets can be purchased online here. Make sure to choose our section: 5-Paralegals.
