Gearing Up for the Gala

The 2009 Roanoke Bar Association Foundation Gala and Law Day Celebration is set for Friday May 1 at the Hotel Roanoke. The fundraising and awards event will benefit the Roanoke Bar Association Foundation and the Oliver White Hill Foundation. Our keynote speaker will be Dean Rod Smolla of the Washington and Lee University School of Law. Nationally, Law Day 2009 will be honoring the bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Locally, we will also honor Roanoke's native son Oliver White Hill, the "Renaissance man of the Civil Rights Movement."

Here is our web page with details. We are eagerly seeking ticket buyers, table sponsors, and other sponsors. Contact me if you can think of a potential sponsor.
