In another credit to our Young Lawyers Section, the annual ski trip took place at Blue Mountain in February. This was the first year that the Young Lawyers section planned and organized the ski trip. Rob Sebia, of the Young Lawyers, did a terrific job planning and coordinating the day. The trip was well attended, and a great time was had by all.

Our other sections are also hard at work. The Family Law Section, headed by Kelly Fazzini, is off to a great start to the year having already completed guardian ad litem training for members. The Trial Lawyer Section, lead by Mark Fischer, hosted the chairs of the ADR committee to learn more about the Montgomery Bar Association Mediation Institute. There will be much more to report on the new Mediation Institute in the coming months. Similarly, our Probate and Tax Section, chaired by Rebecca Sallen, has several events planned for the year including a CLE on estate planning for single parents.

While there are always many worthwhile events on the MBA’s calendar, I wanted to highlight a few. Our Annual Dinner Dance will be held Friday, April 21, at the Union League at Liberty Hill in Lafayette Hill. You may have already received an invitation, and I hope to see you there. Our Law Day celebration will take place on April 28th at the Courthouse, and our Elmwood Park Zoo event will return in May. Finally, please keep an eye out for our Foundation’s golf outing and dinner invitation.

I’ll leave you with some historical background about our Association as detailed in History of Montgomery Bar Association by Christine B. Scriabine. In 1931, a group of MBA young lawyers including: Desmond J. McTighe, Roland Fleer, Edward. B. Duffy, Frederick B. Smillie, and Edward McKean regularly met over lunch to discuss practice-related issues. In March of 1931, the group requested permission from the leadership of the MBA to meet formally as a committee to discuss points of law and practice. Despite being founded in 1885, the MBA had not previously provided member education. While there was some initial disagreement over the group’s request, eventually a new Entertainment Committee was created by the MBA in late 1931. The Entertainment Committee was charged with planning meetings and educational opportunities for younger members. The Entertainment Committee would later come to be known as the Young Lawyers Section. It is also reassuring to know that our lunch and learn CLEs have a long tradition in the MBA.
