Ladies and gentlemen, get your legal briefs ready because tonight is the night! The Chelan Douglas County Volunteer Attorney Services annual 2024 Justice Gala is about to kick off in style 💃 From 5:00pm to 9:00pm, we're rolling out the red carpet for approximately 300 guests who are all geared up to support those in need of free legal civil services. Huge shoutout to Eloise Barshes for her dedication and hard work in making this event a reality. Let's make this gala the talk of the town and break all records to close the justice gap once and for all. It's time to get your groove on for a good good cause🤲🏻

Love is in the legal air as we celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the heartwarming partnership between Chelan Douglas County Volunteer Attorney Services (CDCVAS) and the Chelan Douglas Bar Association (CDBA). Back in 2002, attorney Russ Speidel, along with other legal luminaries, laid the foundation for CDCVAS to provide essential legal aid services to the community. The CDBA, a beacon of generosity and support, has been a cornerstone in this journey, generously donating to events like the 2024 Justice Gala and shining brightly as a Gold sponsor again this year. Their unwavering support ensures that funds raised during the gala will continue to provide crucial legal assistance through CDCVAS. With most attorneys volunteering their time or providing their financial support, it's clear that love and dedication are at the heart of this partnership. Here's to 22 years of making a difference, one legal case at a time! 🦅💼
