By: Lyo Figueroa, HBA President
Happy 4th of July! Can't believe July is already here and with it this heat! You need not worry though, because we have planned a very exciting summer for all of our HBA members. Our summer activities were kicked off by a very informative and well received MCLE. Thank you all who attended our free MCLE last month, it was a complete success. Honorable Judge Gray (Ret.) was an outstanding presenter and provided great content.
Our next exciting summer event is A Night of Networking & Baseball, as we partner up with OC Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Join us on July 20, 2016 at Angel Stadium for Angels vs. Texans Rangers. We will have our pre-game mixer starting at 5:00 p.m. and game starts at 7:05 p.m. There is nothing like a summer night at a baseball game with good friends, so we hope you can join us and be sure to get your tickets now, as this event always sells out!
I hope you all are having a great summer so far and hope you will come join us at our summer events:
As always, we will send out details of each event in the following weeks, so stay tuned.
Some of our HBA members will be participating in MABA Summer Golf Tournament, so if you're a golfer like myself, please join us at this fun event put together by our friends at MABA.
Remember we want all of you to stay in touch with the HBA so please make sure to friend us on facebook and follow us on twitter. Also, don't forget to renew your membership to attend all of our events. See you all at the Angels game!
-Lyo
