There's Still Time to Take Part in the Austin Bar's Second Annual ALS Fundraiser
The Austin Bar's Second Annual ALS Fundraiser was a homerun! However, the Austin Bar still has a few auction items left, meaning you still have time to join the fight against ALS. Please join the Austin Bar in combating ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) on behalf of Nancy Matchus and the family of Austin attorney Michele Morgan.
Visit the Austin Bar Web site for pictures of the auction items. We know you'll find something there that will make a great accessory in your office, game room, or even as a Christmas present.
Contact Debbie Kelly regarding the items at 472-0279 x105 or Debbie@austinbar.org.
