Wills for Veterans Event on november 13, 2017, and in the spirit of veterans Day, hCba’s Military and veterans affairs Committee hosted a wills for veterans event at the Chester ferguson Law Center with the federal bar association tampa bay Chapter. the volunteer attorneys, paralegals, and law students — many of whom were military veterans themselves — were able to provide free basic estate planning documents for local military veterans and spouses. veterans of the army, navy, Marines, and air force — whose ages ranged from early 30s to late 70s — received new wills, durable powers of attorney and healthcare advance directives at the event. the wills for veterans program provided what equated to over $10,000 of free legal services to the attendees. a great end to a veterans Day weekend and a great opportunity for our local volunteer bar associations to give back to those who have sacrificed for this great country. qSave the Dates u January 10, 2018 Diversity Membership Luncheon at the Hilton Tampa Downtown u February 10, 2018 Diversity Networking Social at the Chester Ferguson Law Center JAN - FEB 2018 | HCBA LAWYER u March 3, 2018 15th Annual Judicial Pig Roast/Food Festival & 10th Annual Pro Bono 5K River Run, on the grounds of Stetson Law Tampa Campus u May 9, 2018 Law Day Membership Luncheon at the Hilton Tampa Downtown Learn more about HCBA events at www.hillsbar.com.
