The Dallas Bar Association Family Law Sections 2010 Board Member Retreat now has a date and time. It will be held this Saturday, January 9th 2010 at the Omni Hotel in Las Colinas. I encourage all Family Law Section members with questions, concerns, comments or suggestions to contact me prior to the meeting. As a board member I would love to hear suggestions on how to make this year one of the best ever for our Section.

Of immediate importance is the upcoming yearly Dallas Bench Bar project. Any suggestions on topics or speakers would be welcome.

Also of importance is setting the venue and date for the yearly charity Golf Tournament. Last year we held the tournament at the Cowboys Club in Grapevine and had one of our best turnouts of all time as well as the introduction of the Geilich Cup to the winning team.

I would love to hear section member input.
