President's Message
By: Diana Lopez, HBA President
It has been an exciting start of summer for the HBA! We celebrated 5 De Mayo at our annual De Barranda/Bar Review at Proof Bar in Downtown Santa Ana - click below for pictures of this fun event.
We also joined forces with our fellows at the Jewish Bar Association and Anti-Defamation League for a joint Bar Review - click below for pictures.
 Thank you for joining us if you did, and if you didn't we have two more events coming up you won't want to miss - the End of Summer Mixer in August and Judge's BBQ in September - please send in your nominations for Judge of the Year to info@ochba.org.
We also had a much needed vacation/CLE trip to beautiful Belize. It was a wonderful trip - thanks in large part to my wonderful Co-Chair, Past President, Monica Lukoschek. Here's a peek of a few of the pictures from Belize:
Don't miss next year's trip to ????? If you'd like us to consider a destination - please email us at info@ochba.org.
