Charitable Activities

The Kentucky Chapter is interested in supporting community activities in our Kentucky cities. Two activities supported during the 1999-2000 year include, The Community Challenge Weekend and Law House 2000. In 1999, The Kentucky Chapter provided clothing and school supplies to the Home of The Innocents. And in the year 2000, we contributed $1,000 as well as numerous man-hours for the building of Law House 2000.
