It's hard to believe that another BBA Spring Break Weekend has come and gone. Many thanks go out again to Larry Coppel and his able assistant Trish Adams for all they do in putting our Spring Break program together year-after-year. What an exciting and busy year it has been. Our Pro Bono Committee Co-Chaired by Maria Ruark and Gerard Vetter has worked hard this year to help support the Court in its wonderful Debtor Assistance Project. Much work is yet to be done and I'm hopeful that we will have more success in getting BBA members to volunteer to help staff the DAP Desk.
Towards that end, the BBA has partnered with the Court, the Maryland Pro Bono Center, MVLS, and the MSBA Consumer Bankruptcy Section to put together a consumer bankruptcy training seminar to help train more DAP volunteers. The target date for this seminar is September 2009. Volunteers are also needed to help present this training seminar.
Finally, I'm proud to report that the BBA made a direct grant to MVLS of $5,000 to assist MVLS in its efforts to support the DAP project and other related bankruptcy pro bono initiatives in Maryland.
