As part of its 150th Anniversary Celebrations, the Connecticut Bar Association (CBA) hosted Community Service Day on September 20 with volunteers from the association participating at service sites in Bridgeport, Wallingford, and Hartford. In Bridgeport volunteer attorneys met with members of the public at the city’s North Branch and New Field Libraries and provided free legal advice in the areas of family law, landlord/tenant issues, wills, personal injury, and immigration. In Wallingford, a group of volunteers worked with Connecticut Foodshare to assist in sorting and packing donated food, stocking shelves, and preparing food items for distribution to families across Connecticut. In Hartford CBA volunteers joined the nonprofit organization KNOX for a cleanup of Hartford’s Rocky Ridge Park. Volunteers planted and mulched perennial flowers in the park and performed general park clean up. After finishing their work for the day, the volunteers at each of the sites attended celebrations at local restaurants, where they enjoyed appetizers provided by the CBA.
