December Chapter Meeting

By admin | Published: December 1, 2009

Well it is the first day of December and if your life is anything like mine the holidays are the furthest thing from your mind. With year end budgeting and partner comp we can all use a little break. So, let’s celebrate and have some fun.

Our UALA holiday party is scheduled for Tuesday, December 22nd at 12:30. We will enjoy a wonderful lunch at the Lion House and, don’t forget, our white elephant exchange. If you plan on attending the lunch, please bring a $10 gift for this wild and crazy group to tackle and steal from each other (not to violate any harassment laws, of course). We will also have some great gifts for the chapter prize drawing.

2009 Community Challege

By admin | Published: October 19, 2009

On Friday, October 16, 2009, several members of the Utah Association of Legal Administrators (UALA) participated in ALA’s Community Challenge Weekend by serving lunch to those in need at the St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room near downtown Salt Lake City. It was a gratifying way to provide charitable service and to work shoulder to shoulder with fellow chapter members and those who operate this exceptional facility. Special thanks to Mark Hall, UALA past president, for coordinating this service activity.

Utah ALA Community Challenge

By admin | Published: September 28, 2009

Join us on Friday October 16th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. as we serve lunch at the St. Vincent DePaul Dining Room (437 West 200 South).  Please arrive by 11:00 a.m. so that at 11:15 a.m. we will be ready to start serving lunch.  Parking is available on-site, just drive past the gates.  PLEASE NOTE:  Long hair should be tied back and no open toed shoes.

This is a worthy cause and meets the needs of over 25,000 individuals each year.  Please consider making a personal donation of $25 (roughly the cost of 3 lunches) to support Catholic Community Services in providing this important service. Funds are tight right now for each of us and our law firms are also feeling the pinch.  The low-income and homeless individuals and families served by this group are feeling the current recession harder than many of us are. You can make a donation even if you are unable to attend the event.  As appropriate, you may also wish to invite your firm to participate with a small donation.

Please make your checks payable to UALA and mail your checks to:

Matt Fankhauser
Strong and Hanni
3 Triad Center, Suite 500
Salt Lake City, Utah  84180
801-532-7080

The UALA Board members will present our donations to CCS on the day of the event.
