Earlier this month I was invited to attend the South Carolina Legal Services (SCLS) Annual Conference in Myrtle Beach. And it’s hard for me to express the feelings I had. Everyone was welcoming to me and I had a great time. Even better, I came away with a better understanding of what SCLS does and the dedication their staff has to their job. In fact, I dare say that many SCLS attorneys and support staff believe that their work is a calling. I was glad to be a part of SCLS for 3 days!
And I’m thankful for the work they do including:
- To keep people in their homes;
- To make sure people are able to access benefits;
- To help people out of unsafe living conditions; and
- To let people know that they are not alone in the civil legal system.
Below are some photos from the Conference: (I wish I had more to share, but most shots were under- or over-exposed)
