[blindLaw] Reminder Regarding NABL 2020 Annual Meeting Registration Now Open

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Good Evening NABL:

 

This is a reminder about our meeting tomorrow.  Many of you have registered,
but many haven't.  Please see the info below and go to our website.  If you
need help registering, contact my assistant, Lisa, at lkb at labarrelaw.com
<mailto:lkb at labarrelaw.com> .  If you are purchasing our CLE materials, Lisa
will invite you to a dropbox where you can download them.  Here is the info
I sent regarding the meeting previously;:

 

Registration for our 2020 Annual Meeting is now open.  Please go to:

www.blindlawyers.net <http://www.blindlawyers.net> 

 

On our page, you can download our 2020 agenda as well as pay for your annual
dues and the CLE materials.

 

Dues for lawyers = $25

Students and non-attorney = $5

2020 CLE materials = $20

 

If you are purchasing the CLE materials, we will invite you to a secure
Dropbox where you can download same.  Those materials will be  available on
Monday.  

 

NABL's largest source of revenue each year is the Mock Trial.  This year we
are not able to put on a trial.  So, we are asking folks to make additional
donations to our treasury if you can.  It will be much appreciated.

 

Although you can download it, I am pasting below our agenda for easy access.
I look forward to meeting with all of you virtually next week.  If you are
having difficulty registering, just let me know via email at
