Please join me on June 12, 2014 to recognize these paralegals for their service in their roles on the 2013-2014 Board of Directors.  Our luncheon will be held at Coconut Joe’s!

I’d also like to introduce to you the 2014-2015 Board of Directors:

We’ll be swearing-in our new Board members during our June luncheon as well.

We’ll also be recognizing our Sustaining Members for the 2013-2014 year, in addition to announcing our Paralegal of the Year, Outstanding Member of the Year, and Scholarship recipients.  I hope you will join us for this luncheon!

On a side note, I can’t believe it’s already June.  I was talking to my fiancé last month and he said we’re always doing something, there is something going on every month it seems like; I said “well, we do have a holiday every month…” Of course, the only holiday I could come up with June was Flag Day—I forgot about Father’s Day! – but it’s true—there is a holiday of some sort every month that keeps us running around!  But, I wouldn’t change it for a thing—it keeps us at each other’s families’ houses.
