We were pleased to add Volunteer School Speakers which we offered to area school systems during the month of March. Judge Richard James, of Family Court and retired Judge Lynn Griffith, Jr. spoke to students at LaBrae High School, and Attorney Enzo Canatalmessa of Davis & Young spoke to students at Trumbull Career and Technical Center. We look forward to offering speakers to the area schools again in the near future.
