Crabfeed Event Enjoys Great Success

"Crabfeed 2005" had a great turn out on January 22, 2005. This fundraising event was co-sponsored by the Sacramento Law Foundation (SLF), the "charitable arm" of the Sacramento County Bar Association, and the Sacramento Legal Secretaries Association (SLSA). The event featured DJ music, live and silent auctions of donated goods and services, a 50/50 opportunity drawing, and door prizes. Both marinated and regular crab were the featured faire of the evening, along with pasta and other side dishes. Pictures from Crabfeed 2005 are viewable at www.jordonjcrew.homestead.com.

SLSA uses its crabfeed profits for its scholarship program and SLF supplements its grant funds. Because of the generosity of its supporters, in 2005 SLF has already made grants for the benefit of the Center for Youth Citizenship high school moot court program and the Open Doors to Federal Courts school program. SLF encourages other grant applications in 2005 that adhere to its mission statement.

The event totals are still being computed and will be included in another article or ad, but SLSA and SLF wish to thank and recognize all those whose donations and sponsorship have made the 2004 and 2005 crab feeds successful fundraising events. Without these generous contributions, the grant and scholarship money would be far less. Not to be forgotten, are the volunteers for the committees and those working the events. It could have been your secretary or your local counsel helping to check in attendees or volunteering in many other ways. SLF and SLSA thank you for giving your time and talents to make the events successful! Our special recognition goes to 2005 live auctioneer extraordinaire Topo Padilla and Legal Pro for donation of all printing for both events!!
