SAVE THE DATE!
The 2009 GLBA Holiday Party will be held again this year at Centro Restaurant in downtown Lowell on Tuesday, December 8, 2009.
Dear Friends and Members:
On December 14 2009 for the 16th year, the Greater Lowell Bar Association served to dinner over 125 people at the Lowell Transitional Living Center. This dinner was made possible by generous donations from the Bar Association and many local attorneys. We were so pleased to have members of the bar along with their friends and family help us serve dinner and cheer. As always musical accompaniment was provided by Rick Lalime and his guitar. I would like to thank everyone who helped that evening. Hopefully, I have not forgotten anyone
Special Thanks to:
Michelle and Joe Clermont • Rick Lalime • Mike Gallagher • Rich Cavanaugh •Theresa Conley
James Dunn • Eileen Donahue • Victoria Hogan • Kathy and George McNeil • Karen Bolton
Walter Chambers • Jenna Bronfman • Peter Mullins • Darlene Joyce • Suzanne Bunzell • Brian Barry
Jay Gaffney • Todd Beauregard • Kevin Finnegan • Kerry Hall • Brenda Maille • Kimberly Curran
Jessica Colleton and her step-son Tyler Colleton • Mary Mangano • Greg Oberhauser
The evening and the sentiments can be summed up in a note that was written by one of the guests:
"You guys have no idea how cool this is to have you come here. You feed us good eats, rock out on the guitar and, for me, make a long day very much worth it. Thanks very much!"
- Dan Tenczar & Margaret Reilly
