Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
This
year the Annual Consultants & Technologists Dinner has selected an official
event charity, the Chicagoland Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation. With the disturbing and increasing prevalence of breast cancer
today, it is likely that your friends, family and colleagues have been
affected by this devastating disease. We ask, but do not require, that you contribute in this effort by making a $50 or larger
tax-deductible donation; 100% of your donations will be distributed to this
foundation.
Most of you are likely familiar with the Komen Foundation - information about the local affiliate can be found at www.chicagoraceforthecure.org or at www.komen.org for the National organization. For more than 20 years, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has been a global leader in the fight against breast cancer through its support of innovative research and community-based outreach programs. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was founded on a promise made between two sisters, Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker. Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978, a time when little was known about the disease and it was rarely discussed in public. Before she died at the age of 36, Suzy asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to breast cancer. Nancy kept her promise by establishing the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in Suzy’s memory.

Post-Katrina Technology Assistance for Louisiana Lawyers
The Legal Electronic Discovery Institute (LEDI), a Washington-based
non-profit promoting the development of standards and education in the field
of legal electronic documents and discovery, has joined forces with the
Louisiana State Bar Association (LSBA) and the American Bar Association Law
Practice Management Section (ABA LPM) to assist Louisiana attorneys and law
firms in rebuilding their practices in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Central to the rebuilding efforts is a free two-day legal technology super
session being held in New Orleans May 22-23, followed by the establishment
of a centrally based technology resource center, critical to helping
displaced lawyers revitalize as well as maintain their practices by
providing access to facilities, equipment and various technology resources.
The support of commercial legal technology vendors is critical to the
success of both the two-day legal technology super session and the
establishment and support of the resource center. If you are interested in
supporting/participating, please contact Tom O'Connor at
