FLS December Meeting

Colleagues:

It is that time of year again – our annual holiday party. It will be held at Tommy O’s on Wednesday, December 14th. No CLE credits will be offered. We need a witty and brave soul to be our Santa this year. I’d also appreciate any help with gift ideas – Commissioner Schienberg has already provided me with a bag of goodies she has been gathering throughout the year.

I really need attendees to RSVP early for this meeting. It will give us the opportunity to shop for appropriate (or inappropriate) gifts. Please RSVP by December 5th.

As a follow up on one of the topics at our last meeting, we are having Mary Hatzenbeler present the topic of “Child-Centered/Age Specific Parenting Plans.” As you may recall, there was a general call to revisit our “local court rule” visitation.
