Dear Montgomery County Bar Association Member,

In years past, we have requested that every guest of the Holiday Gala donate a toy, blanket, or some other item. This year we are saving you a stop and guests will have the opportunity to make a monetary donation when submitting your RSVP for the evening.

In this season of giving, the best gift we can give is service to those who need it most. This year's MCBA Holiday Gala and Annual Charity Event will celebrate two organizations who tirelessly give the gift of service to others all year long. All proceeds from this year’s MCBA charity efforts will go to the Montgomery Volunteer Lawyer’s Program (MVLP) and Flatline Church at Chisolm. The MVLP and Flatline began their collaboration with a legal clinic in which Flatline graciously opened their doors and welcomed the program in with open arms.

As we celebrate the spirit of the holiday season, we ask that you join us in spreading some holiday cheer and make a voluntary donation with your RSVP! All donations will be recognized in the January issue of The Docket at the following donation levels:

Candy Cane Level - $25
Gingerbread Level - $50
Caroler Level - $100
Poinsettia Level - $250
Treetop Level - $500

The MCBA board and officers look forward to celebrating with you on December 14, 2023. We want everyone to please come and enjoy a fantastic evening of delicious food, desserts, drinks, and much needed fellowship in the beautiful home and gardens of Amy and Tom Methvin, as we support these two amazing organizations that do so much for our community!

In the spirit of the season,

Ali Hawthorne
Montgomery County Bar Association, President
