This law firm wouldn't happen to be Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, would it?

[luckyhoss]

Um, yeah, actually! Wait. Do you work for them too? I know they have people around the country.

No, but my friend Jenny does! They're known for being the Granola Do-Gooder law firm, which I guess is why she went to go work for them. (She's also the only big-shot firm attorney I know with a giant Baha'i tattoo on her bicep.)

That's cool. They definitely sound like they're very involved! Holly mentioned that in just one week they offered to pay for volunteers like us to cook dinner for those group homes, sold $5 buttons for Special Olympics that entitled the donor to wear jeans on a Thursday in addition to Friday, and had a food drive. Whaaat. It's so great.

It seems weird to me that people would be suspicious of baked ziti. It's it 'cause it's a "weird" name? It's practically macaroni and cheese. There's no meat in that either! :)

It sounds like you guys had a nice time though. I think it's great that you're able to get out and volunteer like that. Very cool!
