September 22nd is the official start of Fall, let’s hope our temperature and humidity drops by then! Famously Hot Columbia living up to its name but here is some cool news and ideas!
Power Lunch Hour
Every Thursday from 1-2 you can drop in and hear not only the latest from the Pro Bono Program but a short interview from an alumnae who is a leader in their field and how they incorporate pro bono service into their practice. Plenty of time to exchange ideas and ask questions. And you can eat your lunch while catching up!
We will connect on Blackboard Collaborate! Here is the link:https://us.bbcollab.com/guest/d675eb56a4d34fc5adc7943f4f45e208

With the new school year quickly approaching, I feel that we as a community can give back in a big way. The Facebook group, entitled Richland County – Adopt A Teacher, seeks to provide support to local teachers and school staff through community involvement. The goal of the group is to provide a space for educators to share their needs, wishlists, and even prayer requests with their local community members. The other members, whether it be parents, fellow staff members, or citizens just looking to help, would be able to fulfill these needs within their means. My hope is that Richland County can band together and support those teachers, whether it be joining them in prayer or sending them supplies from their wishlists.
