ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR CURRENT WEEK (10/12/98) Gather up all your change- KJF will be selling baked goods
in the Spak on Wednesday, October 29. This is a great place to get
some Halloween goodies and help support our summer fellowship program!
KJF will be having a T-SHIRT SALE on November 17th, 18th,
and 19th. The design will be posted on the KJF board on the concourse.
If you would like to help sit at the table to sell the shirts, please e-mail
Adam Weber (aweber).
KJF will be having a volunteer opportunity coming up soon. We will be having a drive for toiletries and other items to take over to a local women's shelter. We will place a box on the first floor to collect items such as: soap, shampoo, razors, toilet paper, lotions, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. These are much-needed items that people often forget to donate. Please watch the RECORD for dates we will be collecting and remember that any items at all that you are able to donate will be very appreciated by the shelters and the women! We still need people to sign up for Auction committees. All you need to do is pick a committee that you are interested in (restaurants, bars, hotels, etc.). We will then give you a form letter and you simply fill in the names of places we are going to solicit, add a few forms, and give the letters back to us to mail out. Your help would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in joining a committee or know someone who can donate something to the Auction, please e-mail Auction Co-Chair Heather Fritsch (hfritsch), or come to one of these meetings.
The Kent Justice Foundation (KJF)
is a student organization committed to providing Chicago-Kent College of
Law students with the opportunity to work in the public interest sector.
KJF has the sole mission of establishing summer fellowships for students
who work in public interest law organizations. Through annual fundraising
events, KJF hopes to provide public interest organizations with much needed
assistance, while offering the students invaluable legal training through
their summer fellowships. KJF also sponsors a public service project
each semester.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS
FOR FALL '98 SEMESTER
AUCTION This year's KJF Auction is scheduled for Wednesday March 24, 1999 (2 days before Spring Break). The KJF Auction is an annual event held each spring in which items such as weekend stays at hotels, dinners with professors, tickets to sporting events, and even airline tickets which are donated from area establishements are auctioned off to raise money for fellowships for students that work at public interest organizations over the summer. Kent students, alumni, faculty, and friends are all invited for a good time. In addition to the Auction, which was sponsored by Sam Adams, a wide variety of food, beer, and wine are served. Last year's auction was a great success- hundreds of people attended and over $16,000 was raised for fellowship money. Recent recipients of fellowhips have worked for organizations such as Cook County's Public Guardian, Cook County State's Attorney, AIDS Legal Council, Legal Assistance Foundation, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Generally, these recipients are students who have actively participated in KJF events. If you are interested in helping out with the Auction, or other aspect of KJF, please e-mail Auction Co-Chair Heather Fritsch (hfritsch). KJF BOARD MEMBERS Co-President: Carolyn Buntin
