MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTThank you to Ms. Garner and Judge Feeney for your presentation on Veteran’s Affairs and Veteran’s Court. It was very informative and definitely a worthy cause being addressed by those folks involved with that venture. This is a slow week for the Bar and I am out of state. There will be no weekly newsletter next week as Mary Sellmyer will be out of the office. Congrats to our Trivia winners at JP’s Wheel and Ale House — Nargis Khokhar, Rachel Brandt, Katy Kraft, Maggie Butzen and others. Our Bar teams took first and second place. Thanks to all those who participated. Please see the links below if interested in volunteering your time and assistance with Illinois Lawyer’s Assistance Program (LAP) and/or The Immigration Project. The two organizations addressing very worthwhile areas in need in our legal community. SAVE THE DATE: **LAW DAY 2020** When : Evening of Friday, May 8th. Where: Bloomington Country Club. Theme: "Your Vote, Your Voice, Our Democracy: The 19th Amendment at 100". The planning of this event has been underway and should be a wonderful celebration. More details coming. Stay tuned for specifics of the potential for our Bar to provide our assistance to Habitat for Humanity. The Outstanding Young Lawyer Award is now open for nominations. Please see more information below. The March 17 CLE Luncheon will address Collections: Obtaining and Collecting Judgments in Debt Collection Actions: Representing both Plaintiffs and Defendants. Judge David Butler (Ret.) will lead a one or two hour informational session on this topic. The registration is now open below. Lastly, this is your friendly reminder to register/re-register for your membership to the MCBA. See link below. Have a great week! Joe Foley tuesday - march 17, 2020

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!
