Getting Back to ( the new ) Normal
Happy Spring , fellow SCBA members ! I ’ m happy to report that 2022 has brought us back to in-person events . The YLD hosted their first lawn bowling event at the end of February , there was a trisection mixer hosted by the ADR , Family Law , and Solo / Small Firm sections at Circo at the beginning of March , and South County got to have their amazing annual Train Depot Social in mid-February and their Sporting Clays event at the beginning of March .
I was able to attend the Train Depot Social and it was so nice to socialize with some of our judges and my colleagues in person . I didn ’ t get to attend the Sporting Clays event , which is one of my favorite annual SCBA events , but I know everyone who did had a blast ( pun intended ). If you notice a social theme to the in-person events we ’ ve had so far this year , that is intentional . If you ’ ve attended section meetings lately , you may have taken a survey asking how you want to attend . The overwhelming response has been that our members want to attend the one-hour lunchtime section meetings virtually . We are aiming to continue to have most section meetings on Zoom . However , we recognize that one of the biggest benefits of being an SCBA member is the ability to network and socialize with your colleagues . For that reason , the board is encouraging sections to have more informal networking gatherings for their members . Our divisions will continue to do the fun social events they have always done .
I want to draw your attention to a couple of in-person events that we have coming up . On April 30th , we will have the
SCBA Circus at Big Top Brewing Company on Cattlemen . This is a free family event , so we encourage you to bring your significant other and children . Did I mention it ’ s FREE ? All you need to do is go on the SCBA website and
register on the Events page . Bubbaque ’ s BBQ will be serving food and Carousel ’ s Soft Serve Icery will be providing some sweet treats . For the adults , there will be tickets for beer or wine . We ’ ll also have games and live music . It will be an awesome event , but attendance is limited so please register at your earliest convenience . Many thanks to our Membership
