FLS APRIL 8 MEETING

CCBA FLS – April 8 MEETING

WHAT/WHERE: Our next meeting is Thursday, April 8, 2010 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Please note the FLS meetings will now be held at Hula Boy which is located at 1109 Washington Street in downtown Vancouver.

SPEAKERS/TOPIC: We are excited to have Jolene Sell, Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, and Marjorie Millner, Claims Officer from the administrative office of child support, as guest speakers. Ms. Sell will give us practice tips for drafting child support orders including common mistakes and Ms. Millner will talk about the administrative procedures in child support establishment and collection, the administrative role, and the expectation she has of attorneys regarding administrative hearings.

Because Tony Golik spoke to the group about his campaign at our last meeting, I extended an invitation to the other candidates for prosecutor to appear at our April meeting. Curt Wyrick has since dropped out of the race and I am still waiting to hear back from Brent Boger’s camp.

COST TO ATTEND: The cost to attend the lunch meeting is $10.00 for non-attorneys and attorneys who do not wish to receive the CLE credit. Attorney’s who want lunch and CLE credits are $15.00. Attorney’s who want lunch and CLE credit but are not a member of the CCBA FLS pay $27.00. If you do not RSVP, you pay $25.00 at the door. Judges, Commissioners, and speakers are always free of charge.

*Remember that if you overpaid for your lunch last month to deduct the amount you overpaid from your lunch this month.

RSVP: Please RSVP by delivering your payment to the section Treasurer, Kristen Parcher of Green and Ritchie, located at 1601 Lincoln Avenue, Vancouver, WA 98660 by Monday, April 5th.

CLARK COUNTY PROSECUTOR CAMPAIGN

At the FLS March 2010 meeting Tony Golik spoke to the group about his campaign for Clark County Prosecutor.

I had originally promoted Mr. Golik as a "speaker" prior to the meeting because that is what I understood him to be. A few days prior to the meeting, Mr. Golik and I realized that we had a misunderstanding and that he actually just wanted to speak about his campaign. Because I know that the FLS has an interest, I allowed him to speak about his campaign for five minutes.

To be fair, I have extended invitations to the other candidates for Clark County Prosecutor, including Brent Boger and Curt Wyrick, to speak for five minutes each at our April 2010 meeting.

Thank you for your understanding.
