The people of LJSP are finding more ways to give back...

In Fall of 2009, we decided to put together a cookbook for charity. In this cookbook, the members of LJSP could showcase and share their favorite recipes. With the firm's encouragement and help of Xact Data Discovery, we were able to put together a 100+ page cookbook and donate 100% of the sale price to Second Harvest Heartland! We have collected over $1500 so far! Thanks to all those who put so much time and effort into making this possible.
