160 MCBA members and friends celebrated the incoming 2017 MCBA Officers and Board at the February 11 Annual Installation Gala at Peacock Gap Clubhouse. Guests pledged close to $10,000 to the MCBA Legal Scholarship Fund.
The MCBA Board President gavel was passed from 2016 President Lawrence Strick to incoming 2017 President Dorothy Chou Proudfoot. The Board Officers were sworn in by the Honorable Terrence Boren (retired).
Two of our 2017 Legal Scholarship recipients, Danielle Antone and Alexis Caligiuri, UC Berkeley law students, spoke movingly of their paths to the law profession and their future plans.
Guests enjoyed a lively cocktail hour, an Asian themed dinner, and delicious chocolate desserts. The meal and ceremony were followed by dancing with DJ Gump.
A special thank you to our Sponsors and Gala Committee. Sponsors
