 "Save the Date!"
Saturday, November 6, 2010--Save the date! The HSBA’s annual fundraiser will be held at the Hawaii Super Ferry Terminal. This year’s theme is vintage Hawaii “boat day." There will be plenty of parking space, Hawaiian music and hula, a variety of pupu stations by some of Honolulu’s best restaurants, along with an optional wine tasting and silent auction. In addition to a fun filled evening with your colleagues and guests, the proceeds of this year’s annual fundraiser will support the public service projects of the Young Lawyers Division. The other beneficiary of the fundraiser is Volunteer Legal Services of Hawaii, which creates opportunities for Hawaii lawyers to provide highly needed pro bono legal services. Look for details soon on the HSBA website, mark your calendars and get set to bon voyage!
