Industry Updates

Breast Cancer Charity 

Earlier.org

As many of you are aware, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I venture to say that most all of us have been touched by the specter of Breast Cancer in one shape or form in our lives. If not directly, likely almost every one of us has had a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt or friend impacted by the disease.

For the 3rd year in a row, we at Barrister’s Title have decided to join the cause in bringing not only awareness but by making a donation. For the entire month of October we will donate a portion of each title Order that we receive from all of you. The more Orders we receive, the more money we will donate, thereby allowing you to make an impact in the process. All donations will go to Earlier.org.

Earlier.org is a North Carolina-based charity that focuses on finding a better and earlier detection method. (Many thanks to our friend John Overfield in Greensboro for introducing us to this worth Organization.) Please take a minute to clink on the link above to the organizations website to see how they play a role in early detection of this disease.

Then & Now

Christine Bruns – Then & Now

1. What did you want to be when you grew up?

A teacher or lawyer.

2. Who was your favorite super hero?

She-Ra: Princess of Power

3. What is your funniest childhood memory? 

The something funny is actually at my expense – Our family had just moved into a new house on a canal and my sister and I were playing with our new neighbors in the backyard. When I wasn’t looking our new friend threw a basketball at me, hit me in the head and knocked me into the canal. I had to be rescued and I was fine but I never lived it down.

4. What was one thing you did that drove your parents crazy? 

According to my mom, in elementary school I stayed up to all hours of the night writing and re-writing book reports until they were “perfect”. Evidently that was annoying 🙂

5. Did you have a childhood nickname?

Stiney Beany (sometimes “the meany”)
