MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTWell, as expected, our Winter weather is back. Dress warm and drive safely. This week, we are hosting our annual High School Mock Trials on Wednesday, February 12th. I believe that we are still in need of your help as volunteer judges. If you can only sign up for one session, we still need the most help in the two morning rounds. Please register below if your schedule allows. As a reminder, volunteers will be provided breakfast and lunch and an opportunity for 1 hour CLE-Professional Responsibility for Mental Health & Substance Abuse. On Saturday, February 15th, please join us to pay our final respects and celebrate the life of a wonderful person, Judge Ronald Dozier. He cared deeply for our community and the Bar. The services are scheduled for 2:00 pm at Calvary United Methodist Church in Normal. Our members are asked to arrive around 1:45 pm – 1:50 pm so we can enter the service together. Our next Bar luncheon is Tuesday, February 18th where Judge Feeney will be presenting the program on our Veterans Court/Services for our Veterans. Next Wednesday, February 19th, please join us in forming a team or two for trivia at the newly opened JP’s Wheel and Ale House (site of the old Hooters) on Hershey Road in Bloomington. Trivia will start at 7:00 and expect it to run to 9:00 p.m. Please plan to arrive around 6:30 so we can reserve tables. There is no cost to participate, and no need to stay for the entire event if you can only drop in for a short time. Mark your calendars for these future social events. For St. Patty's Day (but not on the day), wear your green and help us celebrate at Reality on Monroe on Thursday, March 19th, at 5:30 pm where guests can enjoy Irish themed appetizers and beer pairings. Then, on Friday, April 24th, the Bar has arranged for group transportation to/from Mackinaw Winery for wine tasting and we are working on eats as well. Lastly, Friday, May 8th, will be our annual Law Day celebration at Bloomington Country Club, but this year it is an evening gala to allow significant others to attend. Our theme, 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied . . .on account of sex." If you are looking for educational seminars and other CLE opportunities outside of McLean County, please continue to check the website for the calendar of events for Peoria County Bar Association. Have a great week! Joe Foley judge ron dozier
Services will be held on Saturday, February 15th, at 2:00 PM at Calvary United Methodist Church in Normal, IL. Details are being finalized, but there will be a service and reception, and military funeral honors. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Calvary United Methodist Church or to the Joy Care Center.

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!
