Cornerstone Contributor Brick
As part of its renovation and expansion of the Kansas Law Center through the Raising the Bar Campaign, the Kansas Bar Association and Kansas Bar Foundation are creating a Kansas Law Museum. The museum will house numerous legal treasures and historical law pieces, including a timeline of the practice of law in Kansas. The museum will be open to members as well as the public.
The Bar plans to have a rededication ceremony for the building in the fall of 2007 in conjunction with the 125th anniversary of the KBA. To help raise funds for the renovation project, we are pleased to provide our members and other interested persons with a unique opportunity to support this effort through a special brick campaign. This is your chance to leave your mark on the legal profession forever.
Purchase a brick for yourself or in honor or memory of friends and loved ones. You can have a name, law firm, or message engraved on a brick that will be permanently displayed at the new entrance and garden of the Law Center. Brick by brick, your generous donations will allow us to provide the funds necessary to expand and improve facilities so that we can enhance member services and promote legal professionalism as well as strengthen our Foundation endowment to be used to make justice accessible to all Kansans and promote a better understanding of the law.
The first KBF president and contributor was L.J. Bond of El Dorado, who served as president from 1957-1962. His words still give inspiration to this day:
“It is conceivable that this Foundation, 50 years from now, may have a very substantial amount of money and that it can carry out the ends for which it is organized in a manner that would make every lawyer of the state proud to be a lawyer and proud of this foundation.”
The first brick will be laid in the spring of 2007 and will continue through the years.
