Bench Bar 2010 Brainstorming Session Notes Available
At the Austin Bar Association's 2010 Bench Bar Conference in April, attendees enjoyed a brainstorming session. The Bar is now making available the notes from that session here.
The goal of the session was to exchange information and perspectives and to raise issues for possible follow-up action. The notes as presented here were intended to capture each speaker's opinion, but do not represent any decision or opinion of anyone other than the speaker.

Seeking Helpful 'Habaneros' for Gala 2010: A Night in Havana
Help make this year's Night in Havana Gala a night to remember! Those interested in serving on the Austin Bar and AYLA Gala Auction Committee will solicit donations ranging from adventurous to luxurious to relaxing for the Silent and Live Auctions.
We appreciate all the effort of our attorney volunteers. The annual Austin Bar Foundation Gala is an integral fundraiser that finances the many community oriented projects of the Austin Bar Association. Without the generous amount of time and donations made by members like yourself, the Gala could not continue to be the success it has been in years past.
If you are interested in participating, please e-mail Debbie Kelly at debbie@austinbar.org.
