Programs like SLIP require support. In ad-
dition to the countless hours volunteered by
the SLIP co-chairs and the hard work of our
Atlanta Bar Association staff supporting the
program, SLIP could not happen without your
generous support of the Atlanta Bar Founda-
tion. Chaired by Betsy Griswold this year, the
Atlanta Bar Association’s mission is to support
Atlanta Bar charitable projects that promote
equal access to justice, assistance to youth and
public understanding of the law. Over this sum-
mer, the Foundation’s work included hosting an
End of Summer Party at Park Tavern to help
raise funds for the Foundation. Featuring RU-
MOURS, a Fleetwood Mac cover band, the End
of Summer Party was a great event for a great
cause. Earlier this month, led by Louis Cohan,
the Atlanta Bar and the Atlanta Bar Foundation
hosted The Legal Runaround 5K, an annual
event to support scholarships for children of
Atlanta Police officers who have been disabled
or killed in the line of duty.
With summer officially over, the Atlanta Bar
Association is back in full swing with events
nearly every day. Check our online calendar
to find bar-wide and section events to attend.
From breakfast to lunch to evening receptions,
there are events for every lawyer to learn about
changes in their practice areas, network, or
simply catch up with friends and ask what they
did this summer.
