Remembering Vivian Mason with a Law Library for Ghana
快猫视频 lost a dear friend on June聽18th聽when Vivian Mason passed away. Vivian helped create the law book program for 快猫视频, which was launched in 2008 at 快猫视频's 20th Anniversary Gala. It is a partnership with Thomson Reuters, which donates new textbooks to form a reference law library.
The program was named the "Jack Mason Law & Democracy Initiative" to honor Vivian's husband. Jack had been a 快猫视频 board member when he died in 2002. He often urged 快猫视频 to include law books in shipments, in addition to the primary, secondary, university and general reading books 快猫视频 was already shipping.
Vivian made his dream happen! She not only agreed to allow the program to be named in honor of her husband Jack, she also enlisted two of their friends, former United Nations Secretary General聽Kofi Annan, and former US Vice President Walter Mondale to co-chair the program's Advisory Board.
Vivian has been a constant strong supporter of 快猫视频 these last 12 years. She served on the聽law program Advisory Board,聽, since its inception, attended many events, was a generous聽donor, and always had a special interest in where law libraries had been sent. She was a strong聽advocate for girls鈥� education and for women lawyers.
Gifts made in Vivian's memory聽will go to ship a Thomson Reuters reference law library to a women lawyers association in Ghana later this聽year. A plaque honoring Vivian will accompany the law library.
Vivian will be missed but not forgotten.
