2006 Pro Bono Service in Mississippi
The Bucks County Bar Association sponsored a pro bono service trip to the stricken communities of the Waveland, Miss., area April 22-29, 2006. The BCBA effort was in conjunction with the Bucks-Mont Katrina Relief Project. Bucks County community leaders provided money and services to the people of the Gulf Coast. In fact, there was a groundbreaking ceremony in Waveland/Bay St. Louis on April 24 for the child care center that was designed, constructed and financed entirely by the citizens involved in the Bucks-Mont Katrina Relief Project. Twenty-five Bucks County lawyers traveled to Waveland to assist other rescue operations personnel in rebuilding the totally devastated Hancock County Courthouse in Waveland/Bay St. Louis.
