Evansville Bar Association Members Volunteering Their Time

Members of the Evansville Bar Association are volunteering their time on Friday, September 16, 2016, to assist the Albion Fellows Bacon Center and the YWCA for the third annual “Annual Day of Service.”  The EBA’s Day of Service coincides with service projects sponsored by bar associations throughout the State of Indiana.

The Evansville Bar Association volunteers will assemble at the shelter locations at 9:00 a.m. and will begin painting and re-decorating a room in each facility and assisting with other tasks specified by the two non-profits.   The EBA will re-paint and re-decorate a room in the YWCA’s Transition Housing Recovery Program and within the Albion Fellows Bacon Center shelter.

Chair of the 2016 EBA Day of Service Project, Jean Blanton of the law firm of Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel & Shoulders, explained the reason the Bar Association selected the YWCA and the Albion Fellows Bacon Center for their community service project:  “These two agencies are long-standing, strong non-profits that provide much needed shelter and education to women and children in situations including recovery from substance abuse and domestic and sexual violence.  The EBA is pleased to assist both agencies as they continue to provide these critical services in our community.”
