KBSDS publishes a seasonal newsletter, Thinking – Connecting the Community with Current Issues, and makes it available to clients, friends, attorneys, and other interested parties. The articles are topical and designed to help you understand and meet some of the challenges of our complex society. We have tried to hold back on the "legalese," to provide a readable and relevant dialogue, and to give you information you can use. If you would like to receive a copy of Thinking by mail or email, please contact Bea Flesher at (520) 545-1674. She will be glad to add you to our mailing list. Or, you can sign up online right here.
