It is my pleasure to invite all of you to Laramie for the 2010 Annual Meeting & Judicial Conference. This year we combine a fantastic CLE line-up with a brand new conference facility and the opportunity to enjoy the “college” experience again. This year’s convention will be at the new Hilton Garden Inn, one of many new attractions in Laramie. We will kick off the festivities Wednesday morning with a plenary session sure to appeal to everyone. That evening we have the unique opportunity to host the Welcome Reception in the Wildcatter’s Club, the newly constructed viewing suites at War Memorial Stadium.
Our game plan is to provide all attendees not only educational excellence but also a collegial atmosphere to connect with old friends and make new acquaintances. Throughout the week you will be challenged, refreshed, inspired and coached by the talented and nationally renowned speakers and presenters committed to our CLE line-up. An all-star line-up of nationally renowned speakers will join some of Wyoming’s best lawyers and judges in bringing innovative and engaging strategies and information to attorneys. You will have the opportunity to visit or participate in CLEs at the new courtroom/classroom at the Law School. If you have not seen it yet, it is an amazing facility and you will quickly appreciate the learning opportunities it presents. Kay Lynn Bestol and the CLE committee have accomplished the goal of making sure the CLE programming is relevant and beneficial to a wide variety of lawyers. There is truly something for everyone, and the quality will be record setting.
Many of us have had the opportunity to “experience” Laramie for educational purposes; however, if you have not been here recently, you will quickly see how the Town and the University have grown. Several new hotels and eating establishments have come to town, and the University has recently renovated the Library and the Business College. Both are must-see’s for any alumni. You can’t help but be impressed. Or check out your old college haunts (the Buckhorn and the Alibi are still going strong).
Finally, we invite you to stay over an extra day and participate in the Cowboy Gameday experience. The Cowboys will play highly-touted Boise State at 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening in what is sure to be a sold-out game. We have scored a block of tickets available to those attending the convention on a first-come, first-served basis so make your plans to attend the game early. In addition to the many other game-day activities, the Bar’s annual golf tournament will take place at the Old Baldy Club in Saratoga on Saturday concluding in time for everyone to be back in Laramie to warm up at the tailgate party hosted by the Law School and the Young Lawyers Section. This is a rare opportunity to play at one of the finest private golf facilities in the country, so if you are a golf enthusiast, make sure to fit this in your plans as well.
The opportunities for fun, sharing and camaraderie are endless in the Gem City of the Plains. I hope you and your family will join us and your fellow attorneys and families for what is destined to be an unbeatable convention. We look forward to seeing you all, and GO POKES!
