RBAF Gala and Law Day Celebration


The Gala took place Friday night and it seemed to me that it was a big success. Congratulations to our honorees Bob Glenn (Bo Rogers Lifetime Achievement Award) and Wade Anderson (Young Lawyer of the Year). We had a professional photographer present; you can look at his gala photos online here. Click on "View Events and Purchase," select "RBA Foundation Gala" and enter password "roanokebar."

Thanks also to the Oliver Hill Foundation, with whom we will split the proceeds of the gala. They were a wonderful addition to the night, and the memory of Mr. Hill really brought home what the Rule of Law is all about.

Oliver Hill House Dedicated on May 1


The Oliver Hill House dedication was a lovely, well-attended event. Several RBA members were present. The Roanoke Times and Virginia Lawyers Weekly covered the opening.
