They were all my inaugural pro bono applicants!
It was extremely difficult to pick my 2009 Pro Bono Client of the Year, but I made a choice—well, three choices, to be exact. I could not just pick one. Out of twenty-two worthy applicants, I selected three organizations as my Pro Bono Clients of 2009:
Pro Bono Clients of 2009:
BELIEVE International, a foreign educational organization
Neighborhood Services Organization of Detroit, an outside-of-Illinois community development organization
Kidz Kabaret, a local arts enterprise from Naperville, Illinois.
