TBPA's Military Legalman Project
TBPA has renewed its commitment to support our fellow paralegals serving in the Armed Forces. Due to the tremendous support our members have given this program, NFPA has asked us to shift our support from individual members to Military Field Offices or ships/vessels. By sponsoring an office or ship, we are able to reach many of our military and show our support and thanks as they serve this great Nation.
TBPA has committed to sponsor six shipments beginning in February and continuing every other month through December, 2010. We would ask that you continue to show your generosity by donating items at the February and March luncheons for our April shipment. A list of suggested items can be found by clicking this link.
Please keep in mind we are limited in the size boxes we can ship and would ask that no large or oversized items be donated.
