Greetings Fellow Bar Members – With summer squarely upon us, the PCBA’s activities have slowed, but there are several events to put on your calendar. First, the Pro Bono Committee, the YLC, and the 10th Judicial Circuit Pro Bono Committee are hosting a joint happy hour social on June 3rd at Obed & Isaac’s at 5:00 p.m. There will be a complementary first drink and appetizers for attendees. The weather is beautiful – we look forward to seeing you there.
Our Annual Meeting is scheduled for July 29th at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. Please mark your calendars now and more details will follow shortly. All of the Peoria Riverfront Museum galleries will be available for our members, including an exhibit celebrating the 250 year anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which was guest curated by Ken Burns and includes many original documents from the period. We are grateful for the Peoria Riverfront Museum hosting our Annual Meeting and for providing our members this excellent member benefit.
Finally, with the new fiscal year approaching, I encourage all members to consider joining a PCBA Committee. There are many ways to get involved in the Bar Association, and committee work is the life blood of this organization. If I can be of any help, please feel free to email (dwiest@hgsuw.com) or call me (309-637-1400).
Sincerely,
David B. Wiest
PCBA President
