There is No Time More Fitting to Give THANKS
As we say good-bye to the ghouls and goblins, we begin to prepare for Thanksgiving. Many of us look forward to turkey, pumpkin pie, football, parades and the dreaded beginning of holiday shopping. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all the good in your life, but I encourage all of us to keep these positive sentiments in mind all year round as we endeavor to perform our duties as lawyers . Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never have enough. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. ~ William Arthur Ward
Find time to stop and thank people who make a difference in our lives. ~ John F. Kennedy
As you prepare for the holidays, please keep in mind those less fortunate. I can’t think of a better way to give thanks than to support your community either by volunteering at a food pantry or in a kitchen that serves hot meals to the homeless, or maybe adopt a family through a charitable organization, such as our own TCBA programs.
TCBA Membership
Our membership numbers are holding steady at around 1,848. While this is consistent with last year’s numbers, we’re still missing some of you among our ranks. It’s not too late to renew those memberships! The TCBA is offering a Refer-A-Friend incentive for anyone who joins at the referral of a current member. Many changes will be taking place this year and new member perks are being added monthly. If you have not sent in your renewal to the TCBA or if you were still debating it, NOW is the time to join so you don’t miss out!
TCBA Activities
Holiday Challenge 2020 is underway! Children & the Law Committee is working with Family & Children Services again to assist those families less fortunate and in need of a little help during the holidays. You can adopt 1 family, 2 families or as many as you like to help provide them with gifts for their children at Christmas. Folks are already signing up, and I encourage you to act now so you don’t miss out. Last year Family & Children Services ran out of families for us, how great a testament to the generosity of our members’ is that!
