MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

We have lost another pillar of our local legal community.  Richard Dunn, 99, passed away last Wednesday in Carmel, California. He practiced law from 1947-2000 and in 1998 our association awarded him the Lincoln Award of Excellence. His sons Mark and David also practiced law with him for many years. He will be truly missed. Funeral arrangements will be set at a later date. You can see Mr. Dunn's obituary HERE.
 
You all know that the practice of law is stressful. You also know that humor relieves stress. That is why on May 21st our luncheon meeting is designed to reduce your stress. You will hear some humorous stories from our own attorneys and judges and if you have something you would like to add, please let me know. You can register to attend below.

Have a great week.
​​Paul Lawrence

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!
