Originally started in 2002 as an outreach effort by community
grass roots activist Tee Lassiter working with Bill Foster, the event quickly grew
and became LAWFEST in 2003.
By the time I arrived at the Manhattan Casino location
of the event, the parking lot was full and people were already parking across
the street.
Mayor Bill Foster along with a large contingent of City
staff were also on hand.
Attendees were greeted at the door, and directed to the
spot where their questions could be answered.
This was my fourth Lawfest. It is a great event,
provides a unique opportunity for the Community to get real answers to their
questions.
Tee Lassiter, whom I have known almost since the very
first day she came to City Council to advocate for her community, along with
her volunteers, sponsors and participating professionals are to be commended
for an excellent grass roots effort.
