Founded in 1987, Attorneys Serving the Community (ASC) is a volunteer organization of women attorneys committed to raising awareness and funds for local charities benefiting women and children. Each year the women of ASC carefully select a different local charity to sponsor. Once a beneficiary is selected, ASC members spend the remainder of the year actively engaging in events to raise contributions for the beneficiary, culminating in its annual benefit luncheon. Vickery Meadows is pleased to be the beneficiary of the 2008 luncheon.
