VOLUNTEER ATTORNEYS READY TO GO; IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO HELP!
Some 500 N.C. attorneys are standing by to answer the phones Friday as the 4ALL Task Force makes final preparations for the statewide Public Service Day. More than 700 attorneys volunteered, far exceeding the number required to staff call centers from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Asheville, Cary, Charlotte, Greensboro, New Bern, Wilmington and Winston-Salem. Volunteers are reminded of excellent training materials accessible via the link below on the 4ALL Web site. And it’s never too late to help get the word out to the public.
