MTLA Wins Award From Maryland State Bar for The MTLA Bicycle Helmet Program
We are very pleased to announce that the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association has been awarded the MSBA’s “best service to the public project award” in the category of large specialty bar associations for our ongoing, and very successful, bicycle helmet program sponsored by MTLA and MTLA’s affiliate entity— the Gary I. Strausberg Foun- dation, Inc. (GISFI). GISFI is headed by MTLA President-elect Walter Laake. The award was made in late October during a meeting of the Local and Specialty Bar Association in Solomon’s Island hosted by the Maryland State Bar Association.
The MTLA Bicycle Helmet Program has benefited from strong leadership provided by past Chairmen Niel Fick and Larry Greenberg and last year’s Chair Roger Weinberg and then President Rob Jenner. We have also benefited from our liaison with the Baltimore SAFE KIDS Coalition and its leader Karen Hardingham. We have been successful in distributing thousands of helmets to youngsters and distributing important safety information tor them. We look forward to more good work from the Bicycle Helmet program this year and into the future under our new Chair Matt Paavola.
We wish to thank all who have been active in the bicycle helmet program and all who have donated their time and money to help us purchase and distribute helmets in the past. The program will continue. Everyone should feel proud and very satisfied that our effort to keep families safe through the bicycle helmet program has received formal, statewide recognition from the Maryland State Bar. We thank MSBA for recognizing this important project.
Sincerely,
Mitch J. Mitchell Lambros, President, MTLA Lambros & Lambros 9900 N. York Road Cockeysville, Maryland 21030
