Connecticut Bar Association - LGBT Section

Hi all,

We hope that you can join us for our first LGBT Section happy hour and networking event at Cask Republic in New Haven tonight. The Connecticut Bar Association's President, Karen DeMeola, will be joining us and sharing her vision for the CBA. The event will run from 6-8pm. You can register at ctbar.org. Hope to see you there!

On December 1, which is World AIDS Day, the LGBT Section will be volunteering with the Hartford Gay & Le***an Health Collective, helping them put together health packets they distribute at various events. This will be a fun way to make a difference and a great opportunity for section members to socialize while helping a good cause!

Date - Thursday, Dec 1
Time - 6 pm
Location - Hartford Gay & Le***an Health Collective, 1841 Broad Street, Hartford
No Charge, RSVP via the CBA website: http://www.ctbar.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=895443

Have you registered yet for tomorrow's meeting? Hope to see you there for some great discussion on employment discrimination, plus a tour of Hartford's newest distillery!
