Holiday Challenge Time

HOLIDAY CHALLENGE 2022

This year the Juvenile Law Section & the Children and the Law Committee are partnering with Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Inc. (LASO) and the Division of Parent Representation to adopt families involved in our State’s child welfare program. The identified families have been reunited with their children. Your donations will not only provide holiday cheer for these families but also provide support and stability as they move forward.

TCBA Members interested in adopting a family may contact Children & the Law Committee Chair, Lizzie Riter.

State’s child welfare program who are being reunited with their children. The Mentoring Committee has revamped it attorney mentoring program and could use some volunteer mentors. The Pro Bono Committee has an ongoing need for volunteer attorneys to assist tenants on the Tulsa County District Court’s FED docket. The Association’s Street Law program seeks to provide at-risk youth with a positive interaction with the legal system with the goal of, among other things, to introduce them to possible careers in the fields of law and law enforcement. Finally, the Association has a couple of open committee and section chairs that could benefit from some dedicated leadership service (and you might get a free lunch or two out of the gig). If any of these opportunities pique your interest, please contact me, the Bar Center, or the committee chair.

Until next year, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Philip D. Hixon TCBA President, 2022-2023
