		More than 400 people joined us to celebrate the life and work of John Ford, NLS' Elder Law Project Director. A great time was had by all and the event raised more than $30,000 for the organization's work. Hope you enjoy the photos.

With the Governor threatening to eliminate all funding for legal services programs like ours, we need your support now more than ever.
