What should we expect?
Fun, prizes, and few surprises. And did we mention prizes?!
In addition, we’ll announce and honor the recipient of the 2022 Betty Northcutt Employee of the Year Award.
May I bring a guest?
Yes! Please be sure to include your guest’s name when you register for the event.
What is the dress code?
The dress code for both the attorney luncheon and all-firm evening party is “smart” summer casual. Jeans, khakis or slacks are appropriate for me. While the temperature outside is expected to be in the low 90s that day, please note that large event rooms tend to run on the cooler side, so please dress accordingly.
Is it true I should be practicing my dance skills?
Maybe. 😉
What’s on the menu?
The dinner buffet will consist of three entrees (salmon, prime rib, and chicken), salad, vegetables, and several choices of dessert.
A plated vegan meal will be available for those who request one in advance. If you require a vegan meal, we kindly ask that you RSVP no later than Friday, July 29, 2022, so that we can place this special order on your behalf.
