JOHN J. EIKENBURG FUN RUN - Thanks to the members who grab their running shoes and support The Center Serving Persons with Mental Retardation. HBAA will once again participate in the John J. Eikenburg Fun Run on March 24, 2012 at the Sam Houston Park.
Interesting Facts:
· The John Eikenburg Law Week Fun Run contributes all of its entry fees to THE CENTER, a private, non-profit corporation, which is a United Way agency dedicated to offering people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to reach their full potential and to contribute to their community. The funds raised help support a variety of programs designed to provide education, job training, socialization, community living, and health care for the people at THE CENTER.
· There is also a 1-Mile Children’s Run at 7:30 a.m. if you want your entire family to participate.
· If you can’t make the Fun Run event at all, you can still participate in the Adopt a Walker program, where you can sponsor a walker from THE CENTER for $20, allowing them to participate in the 1-Mile Family Walk and get a race T-shirt.
· To sign up or learn more about the Fun Run, the official web site is lawweekfunrun.com.

"Now You Are 18" Handbooks
A grant to the Houston Bar Association Auxiliary Charitable Fund enables the HBAA to distribute copies of the booklet, “Now You Are 18,” to high school seniors throughout Harris County. Prepared by the Texas Lawyers Auxiliary, the booklet explains the importance of knowing one’s legal rights and responsibilities. Topics covered include issues students are likely to encounter as they enter the “real” world, such as renting an apartment, credit and debt collection, employment, and buying a car. This year, the HBAA distributed 47,365 copies of the handbook to 35 schools and school districts.
Please contact Gina Rebman, ginajohnr@sbcglobal.net, to assist with this project.
