CARIBBEAN BAR ASSOCIATIONGENERAL MEETING AND FREE CLE ON MORTGAGE FRAUD Topic: Helping Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys & Defense Attorneys Handle Mortgage Fraud Cases Speaker: Mr. Gary Opper of Levie-Opper, LLC Thursday, March 4, 2010, @ 6-8 p.m. University of Miami Law School, Faculty Lounge Library, 4th Floor 1311 Miller Drive Coral Gables, FL 33146 RSVP: Kele Williams at kwilliams@law.miami.edu ~.~.~. Haiti Needs Your Help! On behalf of the Caribbean Bar Association, our deepest condolences to the people of Haiti, for the terrible loss of life and property experienced as a result of the massive earthquake and subsequent aftershocks that recently impacted the island. Our sympathies and thoughts go out, in particular, to those families that have been directly affected by this tragic event. As Haiti begins the difficult task of dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake, and re-building a nation, the Caribbean Bar Association is exploring all possible ways that our association can assist in the relief efforts, either directly, or in conjunction with others. We are working together with other local and regional institutions to, coordinate the collection of money and goods and to assist in efforts to help the victims of the earthquake. We encourage all our members to donate money or other goods to charity organizations that are able to assist Haiti during this difficult time. Haiti needs your help, no gift is too small. We will continue to update our web site with information on the status of the relief efforts and on steps the CBA will be taking to assist. Please check back regularly for updates. We are reminded that we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers. Information on How to Help Below is a list of charitable organizations that are active in the relief efforts: · Action Against Hunger · American Red Cross · American Jewish World Service · AmeriCares · Beyond Borders · CARE · Catholic Relief Services · Childcare Worldwide · Direct Relief International · Doctors Without Borders · Feed My Starving Children · Friends of WFP · Haitian Health Foundation · Hope for Haiti · International Medical Corps · International Relief Teams · Medical Teams International · Meds and Food for Kids · Mercy Corps · Operation USA · Oxfam · Partners in Health · Samaritan's Purse · Save the Children · UNICEF · World Concern · World Vision The CBA advises you to always check out a charity before you give, not after. Three great web sites that rate charities are Give.org, Guidestar.org, and CharityNavigator.org . Seeking information about family members in Haiti? The U.S. State Department Operations Center said Americans seeking information about family members in Haiti should call 1-888-407-4747. Due to heavy volume, some callers may receive a recording. “Our embassy is still in the early stages of contacting American citizens through our Warden Network,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement. “Communications are very difficult within Haiti at this time.” Last Updated: Thursday, March 04, 2010 Who We Are
