peanut butter bites were a close
second, and Kelly McLaughlin’s
brownies came in third. Austin
Marshall’s perfectly aged
fruitcake earned him an
honourable mention.
The Free Legal Information
Booth, with materials and
publications outnumbering bake sale
items five-to-one, connected
approximately 25 people with local
poverty lawyer Jeannette Savoie, who
was on-hand to provide information
on a number of topics and direct
people on the right path for their legal
issues.
In all, the noon-hour event
sent people back to work with a tasty
treat and piece of mind.
KARAOKE NIGHT
The place to be to end the Law Week
celebrations was at the Elks’ Club in
Yellowknife, where lawyers took the
stage to sing their favourites. At the
end of the night, after plenty of laughs
and incredible fundraising efforts, a
total of $505.00 was raised for Betty
House. A special thank-you goes to
all the talented performers, and the
audience, for a job well done.
