Public Notice

Dear All,

The North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA) is hosting a program for at-risk, rising male ninth grade students. It is not limited to Durham residents but was created for students in Durham Public Schools.

The program is a week-long day camp for male ninth-grade students. All food, transportation, and other costs are covered by the NCBA. The event is hosted at the NCCU School of Law. It will be held from July 11-15, 2011. The students will receive training on how to create PSAs, conflict resolution, and will network with law faculty, practicing attorneys, and a former NC Supreme Court Justice.

I encourage each of you to spread this information to any rising ninth-grade students in Durham, N.C. or the surrounding area. The free transportation will only be provided to attendees that live in Durham, NC.

Any questions, feel free to e-mail me at Keithh@legalaidnc.org, or simply reply to this e-mail.

Sincerely,

Keith Howard

Verse of the Day

“Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, "God has lost track of me. He doesn't care what happens to me"? Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening? God doesn't come and go. God lasts. He's Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind.” Isaiah 40:31 MSG
