    Treasurer's Report: Based on the November 30, 2001, financial statements, we have $8,658 in the account. The annual meeting cost has not yet been deducted from the account.

    The State Bar Section survey regarding quality of services provided was submitted on December 13.

    The State Bar is considering the reduction of the annual meeting from 2 1/2 days to 2 days. However, they have a concern about whether there will be enough time and space to accommodate all the section meetings. This may work if the sections are willing to partner on programs. Mr. Gorzalski will contact the Young Lawyers Section, Labor Section and Computer Section to see if they have any interest in partnering and producing a program that will be beneficial to both sections.
