membership renewals 2025Thank you to those who have renewed!
Please know that the applications have been udpated. In an effort to better serve the McLean County Bar Association, the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Committee kindly requests your voluntary, confidential responses to three added questions on the 2025 member application. Please see below to view the students who have recently joined the MCBA. hockey
On Sunday, February 16, the Bloomington Bison play Toledo at 3:00 pm. The game is being promoted as “Celebrate Lincoln’s Birthday.” Lincoln's his actual birthday is February 12, but I don’t set the hockey schedule. Since Lincoln is a former member of MCBA, let's pack the house! It is $68.00 dollars per person for an all-inclusive ticket which would include an all you can eat buffet and unlimited domestic beer, seltzers, and non-alcoholic beverages. The buffet would be a taco bar with taco beef and chicken carnitas, black beans, chips, and salsa, as well as bags of chips and a brownie tray for dessert. The buffet will be served just after 2:00 PM (puck drop is at 3:00 PM) when the doors open, and the staff generally starts breaking down the buffet with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd period. Based on my prior attendance there, if you eat or drink anything, you save money by the all-inclusive ticket. All are welcome including family and friends. Sincerely, Randy Baker, ASA McLean County State’s Attorney’s Office monthly socialThursday, February 20 - Pour Bros Craft Taproom 236 E.
