Herban Sprawl

Oho! Rob Shrader of SunTrust wins today’s prize for Banker of the Year. I brought him up to speed and he mulled the situation. Then he opened an account for the Kate Hofmann Legal Defense Fund. We are set to gratefully receive your gifts of love and justice as paper checks or electronic checks!

Bing, bang. boom - literally - he hammered the daylights out of that keyboard and before I knew it, he’d ordered a lot of deposit slips and we’d agreed that the seven starter checks would be sufficient for paying Kate’s legal eagle.

Please give as generously as you are able, and don’t be afraid to send small amounts periodically. Please understand, there is no amount that is insignificant. It all adds up. My friend Sammy used to send $10 and $15 checks to the opera. At the end of the year, his contribution totalled in the hundreds! You won’t find a more grateful recipient.

Remember that in the United States, the accused is considered innocent until proven, beyond reasonable doubt, that she is guilty. All citizens deserve the best legal representation they can get. In this case, we’re asking for $25,000 worth of expertise.

Please send paper or electronic checks to:

Kate Hofmann Legal Defense Fund

c/o Blue Ridge Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

P.O. Box 3115

Roanoke, VA 24015

Please be sure to include your full name and address so that we can keep accurate records. There will be an accountability team checking the books periodically, so help us out by providing that information.

Thank you to all who have asked, “What can I do?” Now you know how best to help.
