As you know the Annual Bull Roast is Sunday, March 7, 2010. We need to have donation items to Doris by February 5, 2010 (30 days from now) in order to get the items listed in the program. Please be diligent in your follow up on your donation requests in the next week or two and provide me with a status update as soon as you can. The earlier we can get donations secured the better our opportunity to advertise them and promote what a great event the Bull Roast will be. The Charity for this year is the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins.

The next Young Lawyers meeting will be on January 21, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. in the Grand Jury Room of the County Courts Building. Following the meeting, we will join the MSBA Young Lawyers' Happy Hour at the Greene Turtle from 5:00- 8:00 p.m. At the meeting, we will be discussing donations and volunteers needed for the bull roast, as well as upcoming chamber chats and events. The bull roast is from 2-6 pm this year and we will need volunteers to help with set up and clean up, as well as approximately 6 volunteers per hour to help with the stuffed animal wheel, money wheel and selling raffle tickets for the 50/50 and prize raffles. If you know that you will be able to volunteer but are unsure if you can attend the meeting on 1/21, please send me an email with your availability for the bull roast and any update on donation requests and status.
