Social & Community Involvement
2007 Summer Outing –
The Georgia Aquarium July 20, 11:00 a.m.
Moore Colson offers entire staff to help local
Children’s organization Feed My Lambs
Atlanta based Moore Colson committed its entire
staff for a day of Community Involvement with local Children’s
organization, Feed My Lambs.
Feed My Lambs is a pioneer organization founded in 1982 in
Atlanta. Feed My Lambs’ mission is to provide tuition-free,
Christian preschools in impoverished areas to empower at-risk
children spiritually, academically, physically and socially; to
impact families and communities. There are 5 schools in Georgia,
2 in Africa, and 1 in Mexico currently operating. Another school
in Mexico is being built.
Moore Colson Staff divided into teams to visit five different
Feed My Lambs locations in the Atlanta area, including their
headquarters in Marietta, Georgia. Armed with shovels, paint
brushes, garden tools and gloves, Moore Colson staff members
left the office around 8:30a.m. to lend a hand with some much
needed chores. Many completed projects including painting the
main office, yard work and assembling bicycles. But a few teams
were able to spend the day interacting with the children by
reading stories, making crafts, preparing breakfast and lunch as
well as having some fun at the nearby playground. Each year
Moore Colson devotes a day to a community involvement project.
“I think I was the lucky one today, says Robin Kelley, Moore
Colson Director of Marketing. To be a part of these children’s
lives for just one day was personally so very rewarding for me.”
”This was an excellent opportunity to help out a great
organization, while building stronger relationships with others
in the firm,” says Justin Shaver, a new Moore Colson Associate.
“The learning experience, attention and opportunities Feed My
Lambs offers these very special children is tremendous. We are
very proud to be associated with an organization such as Feed My
Lambs,” says Leah Manderano, Moore Colson event organizer.
In addition to community involvement day, Managing Partner Greg
Colson and Senior Partner Bob Kiser participated in the 4th
annual Feed My Lambs “Golfing for Underprivileged Children in
Georgia” Golf Tournament. Proceeds from the golf tournament will
go to benefit Feed My Lambs ministry, to provide tuition free
Christian pre-school for children living in poverty areas. The
event will also bring support to the recently opened schools in
Georgia, and also provide food, clothing and Christian education
to hundreds of children in the metro Atlanta area.
2007 End of Busy Season Party
75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, firm employees enjoyed
great food and drink and a perfect setting for a well deserved
end of busy season celebration. It was truly a fun and enjoyable
afternoon in the Tuscan setting, next to the big pond at Brio.
Many attendees played bocce ball all afternoon to the tune of
sunburned faces. Needless to say, everyone had a blast, so until
next year - Ciao !
