Young Lawyers tee up July 23for kids' fund It's not too late to sign up for the third annual ISBA Young Lawyers Division Golf Classic, a benefit for the Children's Assistance Fund, on Monday, July 23, at Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomingdale. Proceeds will help furnish and stock supervised courthouse waiting rooms where children of witnesses and litigants can read books and play games without distractions. The YLD set up the Children's Assistance Fund nine years ago to make grants for waiting rooms and other youth-oriented programs. The fund is administered by the Illinois Bar Foundation as a law-related charity. The July 23 event will begin with registration at 9 a.m. An educational seminar at 9:30 a.m. will feature Chicago attorney Warren Lupel, a past president of the Illinois Bar Foundation. Golfing will begin with an 11 a.m. shotgun start and the event will concludea with a 4 p.m. reception, barbecue dinner and silent auction. The cost is a tax-deductible $150 per person ($600 for a foursome). Sponsorship opportunities also are available at several levels. Co-chairs are YLD members Kelley A. Gandurski of the City of Chicago Law Department and Brett J. Swanson of the Law Offices of Robert H. Hanaford. To obtain a registration form with complete details, send an e-mail to jsosin@isba.org.
