My mother instilled in me the importance of thank you notes. Little did we know she was preparing me for my eventual career. She remains a model of graciousness and kindness; I try to always remember to thank people. Thank you for all that you are doing for NAWJ. Thank you for serving on committees, taking part in projects, and writing articles. Thank you for making an annual gift. Thank you for paying the fee when you use your credit card as it offsets operational costs. For all the ways you support NAWJ, thank you. This year the NAWJ Legacy Society was launched at the midyear meeting. I know of four members who have already included NAWJ in their estate plans. The inaugural Legacy Society members are Judge Elizabeth White, Robert Proskauer, Judge Judith Cherlin and Judge Toni Clarke. Thank you for sharing your plans to help NAWJ in the future. If you would like to include NAWJ in your plans, or if you have already done so, I hope you will get in touch with me at fteer@nawj.org or by phone (757) 880-8343. With gratitude, Francie
