Alston & Bird ABBY Awards

3/27/2013

0 Comments

 
Many thanks to our corporate partner and law firm extraordinaire, Alston & Bird, for nominating Ring The Bell Fund for a firm-wide award to encourage, inspire, and celebrate their robust pro bono practice!  Ring The Bell Fund Board member Tina Mehr was nominated for the FM Bird Award, which is “given to the Alston & Bird attorney who contributes exemplary pro bono service to non-profit organizations, associations or corporations, including without limitation, charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental, or educational organizations.”

Ring The Bell Fund was asked to produce a short video based on three words.  Fortunately, we were given license to be more creative and put together three three-word groupings!  Enjoy! 
(Note that one requirement of the video was that it not include audio - so don't worry if you don't hear audio while it plays!)

Nelson Pushes for Fire Sprinklers

3/8/2013

A school board trustee in Mountain View wants to install fire prevention systems in schools using Measure G funds.
Picture
Some might be surprised to learn that a school board would need to be asked to install fire sprinklers. But because they have been subject to different building codes than business and residential buildings, many older schools do not have fire sprinklers or alarms. Additionally, while a 2002 law mandated that all new school buildings and any school facilities undergoing significant repair or renovation would be required to install sprinklers, the law included one exemption. If a school project is paid for entirely through local funds, the installation of fire sprinklers and alarm systems is not mandatory.
You can read the full article in the March 7th issue of the Mountain View Voice.
