phishing & scams

Please be aware that there was an email sent to many of the MCBA membership within the last few days. It was an email asking for gift cards or money and referencing our MCBA President - George Wood. This was NOT initiated by the MCBA nor Mr. Wood. Be sure to report such emails to your I.T. connection and NEVER click on any links nor respond to any such email.

MCBA Breakfast with the Bar 
Remember to have “Breakfast with the Bar” every Friday morning between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. It’s a great way to meet and talk with your fellow attorneys in an informal setting. Stay for 10 minutes and have a cup of coffee or stay for an hour and have a full breakfast before court. Grab an associate, partner or friend and come.      See you Friday!
