Dear Cambridge Matters Readers:

Below is a link to a short survey that we have put together to obtain more feedback from the community about how Chesapeake College could best use the Cambridge Center and also collaborate with the community, local non profits, and other groups to support its mission and the educational interests of people on the Eastern Shore. I previously sent out an email that told you about the work that the college and an advisory group of the business community, the school system, and the community at large are doing that will finish its work in February and make recommendations to the college.

The survey can be done quickly. It is important that as many people as possible participate in order that we can know the interests of the community and find out how best to serve it. There is space provided in the survey for you to give us your ideas on what you think and also for you to offer yourself in the event you might be a resource to the college.

Here is the link: Chesapeake College Cambridge Center Questionnaire or https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HHJ52KN

It would be most helpful if you could fill this out by January 21st.

Thanks for your interest and willingness to help.

Steve

Dear Friends:

Attached is a notice about free legal clinics that are being offered by the MidShore ProBono organization in different locations on the Eastern Shore. MidShore ProBono represents low income people across the Eastern Shore in civil matters. If you have a place at work or in your community, such as a community center, where you can post this, please do so. Please share it in your churches and with people that you know who might need legal help or may be working with people who need legal assistance in a civil matter.

If you have questions or want to help MidShore in providing its services, please contact me so that I can get you to the right person. For those of you who are lawyers or know a retired lawyer who may not be licensed in Maryland, you are needed to help provide these services. If you are not licensed, Maryland allows you to practice under limited circumstances to assist the poor, so please be in touch if you would like to help.

– Steve
