MARK DOUGLASS and MICHELE HENDRICKSON win CVLS’s Distinguished Service Award for 2009

Please join me in congratulating our brother, Mark Douglass (26th) and sister Michele Hendrickson Douglass (26th)on being named Chicago Volunteer Legal Service’s Distinguished Service Award co-recipients for 2009.  They will be receiving the award on November 12th at the offices of Sidley and Austin.  Once a month, every third Saturday, the husband and wife team have been volunteering at the Amicus Poloniae Volunteer Free legal clinic sponsored by the Advocates Society.  Initially, Michele had informed us of the award won by Mark, but showing her characteristic humility, didn’t mention that she was a co-awardee of the honor. Congratulations to you both, we are very proud of you.
