The Million Dollar Advocates Forum is recognized as one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States.  Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts, awards and settlements.  The organization was founded in 1993 and there are approximately 3,000 members located throughout the country.  Less than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.  Forum membership acknowledges excellence in advocacy, and provides members with a national network of experienced colleagues for professional referral and information exchange in major cases.  Members must have acted as principal counsel in at least one case in which their client has received a verdict, award or settlement in the amount of one million dollars or more. 

What makes this South Carolina lawyer and his law firm stand out is the fact that the firm has two members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Both personal injury attorney Reeves and his associate Arthur Aiken are members.

When asked about his membership, Mr. Reeves said, “I am honored to be a part of this group of distinguished attorneys. In addition to the award itself, membership allows me to exchange information with a network made up of the top attorneys in the nation, which means I can benefit from the experience of successful colleagues. The knowledge I glean from them is passed down to my clients on a daily basis.”

Empowering Youth Christ Central Summer Camp in  Fort Mill, SC is June 6—July 29, 2011 at Steele Street Park. The cost is FREE!!! The park is at 600 Steele St. Park, Steele St., Fort Mill, SC.

Hours: Monday – Friday, 9:00am-Noon, Ages • For ALL children ages 8-12 years

EYTSC is a camp designed to not only provide a safe and fun place for children to go during the summer, it also is designed to provide children with socialization skills, basic knowledge on how to handle certain life issues, and how to work together as a group and within the community.

The camp will begin June 6th and finish up on July 29th. We will be open Monday through Thursday, 4 days a week this year but the summer meals program will continue to operate 5 days a week. Last year we served over hundred children and we hope to serve more this year.

In order to accomplish this goal we need your assistance. Some of the obstacles faced in previous years were funding and the lack of volunteers. If there are any groups or organizations who would like to get involve with the camp please let us know. All monetary donations and voluntary support is greatly appreciated and is needed.

This week CN2 named Fort Mill Care Center President Judy Smith “Home Town Hero” See the report below.

Congratulations to Judy Smith, her staff, and all of you in the Fort Mill Township that have been supporting the Fort Mill Care Center.

Fort Mill schools Superintendent Keith Callicutt announced in November that he would retire from the Fort  Mill school system. On Thursday December 17, 2009 the Fort Mill School Board offered the job to Chuck Epps, an associate superintendent who has worked in the Fort Mill School District for 27 years. 

The Board made a decision not to hire a firm to recruit candidates for the open superintendent position which could take as much as six months. The board wanted to select someone with knowledge and experience and Chuck Epps fits the bill.  See more information and quotes about this story at the Hearld and reporter Shawn Cetrone.
