MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

As the Bar Association’s year comes to an end, I want to thank the members of the Board of Governors and especially Laurel Bingaman who will be stepping down after serving the last three years as our Treasurer. Laurel did a great job and if our By Laws didn’t require her to step down after three years she would have been more than willing to continue on as our treasurer. I also want to thank our Administrative Assistant Mary Sellmyer for once again doing a fantastic job of keeping all of our activities organized. I have heard from many  attorneys outside of McLean County who are very impressed with our website and all of the activities that Mary helps coordinate. Job well done Mary! I also want to thank all of the attorneys and their family members who participated in our numerous events held throughout the year from our first happy hour at Keg Grove to the Battle of the Bars at the Corncrib. We had a good year and it was certainly a lot of fun leading your bar association. Finally, I want to welcome Joe Foley as our next President. I am looking forward to a great year!
 
We have 80 members signed up for the Annual Meeting to be held tomorrow June 18th at Bloomington Country Club and if you haven’t signed up yet, go to the link below as today is the last day to do so. 
 
Ralph Turner’s memorial service will be held Friday June 20th at Second Presbyterian Church at 11:30 am. Please meet at the church at 11:15 am and we will be led into the service together by our next President Joe Foley. That same evening there will be a Celebration and Reception from 5.00 pm-7:30 pm at Reality on Monroe. See below for more details.

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!
