HOLIDAY 2003 SHARING

Correction: In December 2003, the Pueblo County Bar Association ("PCBA") Hispanic Bar delivered holiday stockings to students at Fountain Elementary School. (An item in February's "Bar News" misattributed the holiday effort to another local bar.) The PCBA Hispanic Bar has a long tradition of spreading holiday cheer in the schools and performing good works throughout the community Last December, Judge William Alexander donned his Santa gear and, with assistance from fellow PCBA members, handed out stockings filled with pencils, books, flashcards, and candy to the eager students.
