"Speaking of the staff, I like both of my teachers, especially Mrs. Toombs. She is the most pleasant person to be around. . . . If I need help, I just walk up to her and ask for help. She doesn't get mad like my old teacher."

Lawyers for Children: Raising the Bar

On the evening of February 28, 2008, Coconut Grove Bank will sponsor a special event designed to raise awareness of Miami Bridge and its mission among our community's judges and lawyers.

The event will take place at the Coconut Grove Bank, 2701 South Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida, 33133, and promises to be a fun-filled time for the members of our bench and bar. It will be hosted by the leading volunteer bar organizations in our community, including the Cuban American Bar Association, the Dade County Bar Association, the Florida Association of Women Lawyers, the League of Prosecutors, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. Bar Association, the Puerto Rican Bar Association of Florida, the Colombian Bar Association, the Caribbean Bar Association, the Gwen Cherry Black Women's Lawyers Association and the Haitian Bar Association.

Miami Bridge wishes to thank Coconut Grove Bank and the volunteer bar organizations for their continuous support of our efforts on behalf of the neediest children in our community.
