I gave everyone the month off last month, but regretfully cannot do so now. We have some important news to share.
First, the CLE Winter Series is underway. Please review the website and your emails, because we’ve had some unavoidable scheduling problems and have had to make some scheduling changes. But the programs look interesting, worth your time, and as always are a great CLE bargain. If you want to know anything about cannabis (other than maybe market prices) be sure to attend on Friday afternoon, January 31st!
Second, Judge Perkins and the Lincoln Banquet committee are hard at work finalizing the arrangements for that event. Congresswoman Cheri Bustos will speak and Embassy Suites will provide a great venue and meal. Attire is cocktail/business and there is no need to break out (or rent!) the tux. Please reserve your seats now. We want a BIG turnout.
Finally, as we announced in a recent email, Linda Raineri is currently on medical leave and Stephanie is working hard to hold down the fort. Please help her all you can. January and February are always the office’s busiest months of the year. This should be a good opportunity for us all to use the website rather than calling the office. Committees are pitching in and helping run their own events, relying less on the office to do so. Please understand that the office may not be open the same hours as previously, so use e-mail or voice mail, rather than Stephanie’s time. And while you are at it, send Linda some warm and fuzzy get-well thoughts.
