It has been a great pleasure for me to serve on this board for the last four years and serve each of you. It has provided me an incredible opportunity to grow and learn from the experience and develop wonderful friendships with my colleagues. For that I am truly grateful.

We have had some great speakers and the Outstanding Women Lawyer dinner was successful with incredible people giving to the event, especially the dinner committee.

As we honored Valerie P. Cooke, I am also appreciative of her insight and giving nature as well as that of Cissy Rosenauer for bringing the Partners in Education Program ideas to us and facilitating the relationship with Traner Middle School so that we continue to give to the girls that our future.

We were also able this year to donate to the Labyrinth garden at Rancho San Rafael park in honor of victims of crime which are generally comprised of women and children.

I am also proud to say that we honored two individuals with scholarship awards in the amount of $750.00 each. This is the first year we have been able to award two scholarships and believe that with the continued dedication we can continue to increase the awards.

It would be my honor to be able to turn control over to Amy Tirre, President-Elect for 2002. Amy has shown inspiring dedication, strong leadership abilities and a wonderful attitude.

Thank you, each of you, for your support, generosity and dedication to our organization. I hope your holidays are wonderful, and your life full of health, happiness and love.

Yours Truly,

Gabrielle J. Carr

NNWLA is sponsoring a^t Moms and Daughters Clothes Closet on December 1st for the moms and daughters at Traner Middle School. (Clothing for boys is welcome, also.) The girls need everything from good shoes, jeans, and sweatshirts to skirts, dresses, coats, mittens, and hats. Moms need work clothes, suits, shoes, pants, purses, jackets, coats, and even accessories. If you have clothing for younger children, that will also be greatly appreciated. Also, you can help by purchasing underwear and socks. These are items that people need, but may not be able to afford

We know you are busy people, but taking time to help others by donating clothing and volunteering an evening or morning brings great rewards.
