Attorney’s Jerome Gamache and Charles J. Kanozak participated at Fidelity National Financial and Chicago Title’s Legal Seminar at Fenway Park. Which brought attorneys across the region together for an engaging day of education, collaboration, and exclusive experiences. Hosted at the Aura Club behind centerplate, the event combined professional development with a behind-the-scenes look at one of Boston’s most iconic landmarks. ATR was invited by Brooke Reckitt, our local representative and Tiffany Dembrowski, Local Counsel. We are glad that we attended and can’t wait for more events like this in the future!

ATR is proud to have donated over 900 binders to Ruth’s Reusable Resources. Binders are essential for organizing schoolwork, lesson plans, and projects, but not every classroom has enough. ATR’s donation ensures more students and teachers have the tools they need to succeed, without the extra cost. Ruth’s Reusable Resources has a free teacher store that Maine teachers can go to receive classroom supplies at no cost to them.
