Volume 1, Issue 1 Summer 2002
Welcome to the Neighborhood
by Amy DeAngelis
and Vineet Chander,
NLSA Interns, Pittsburgh office
As we began our summer internship at Neighborhood Legal Services, we were pleased that our assigned "sidebar" project could be the creation of the first issue of this newsletter. It is an honor to aid in the creation of a newsletter that both celebrates the accomplishments of this tireless staff and shares NLSA's mission and legal developments in our areas of specialty with the surrounding legal community.
We hope that this newsletter becomes a resource to NLSA attorneys and pro bono attorneys seeking to maintain current knowledge in the areas of law in which NLSA specializes.
Congratulations
to Sara Buss, intern in the McKeesport office, winner of the "Name
Our Newsletter" contest. Sara's creativity has generated this most
fitting name, "The NLS Press," which will serve as the masthead
of all future newsletters. Recognition also goes to the second place winner,
Stephen Otto, an attorney in the Aliquippa office, for his submission
"Neighborhood News."
We would like to extend a special thanks to Robert Racunas, Executive
Director, Doreen Mitchell, Assistant in the McKeesport office, and Amy
Carpenter, Attorney in the Pittsburgh office, for their participation
on the Name Our Newsletter Committee. We would also like to thank Barbara
Kern, Managing Attorney, for her devotion to this project.We invite you
to pick up a copy and enjoy. Also, be sure to e-mail the contact information
listed on page 8 to become a member of our listserve.
