We had a good sized crowd at the Happy Hour sponsored by NAELA. Alex Graham, CEO, and Dannie Larkin briefly told us about NAELA, a national organization of over 4000 attorneys focused on elder law and people with disabilities and then sent us back to the food and drink. The annual Unprogram of the Texas Chapter is one of the best, most practical CLE events I have ever attended and the Texas NAELA list serv is fantastic - with very experienced attorneys answering questions from members. Thank you, NAELA, for sponsoring!
