Hello OCWLA members,
Happy New Year!
It was great to see many of you at the Holiday Party and Installation Dinner, where OCWLA and the OCWLA Foundation Board Members were installed. Thank you again to Judge Macias who swore us in! I am honored to be the 2023 President of this great organization.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and had some quality time with your family and friends, as well as some time to relax. It is hard to believe a new year is already upon us! We have a lot of fun events planned for 2023, so I hope to see you soon at our next event.
