MLBA ANNUAL MEETING – Tuesday, April 14th 6-9pm!

All MLBA members and friends, their guests, and interested law students are cordially invited to attend the MLBA 2009 annual meeting on Tuesday, April 14.

We do not plan to have an outside speaker – just association business and a time to relax and enjoy one another’s company.

We hope you can join us for a pleasant evening!
