Sacramento County Public Law Library News |
| The gala reception for our art show, A Creative Merger: Lawyers & Artists, was a huge success. What a wonderful kick-off to this first annual art exhibition which runs from April 14th to May 31st. If you were not able to attend the opening there is still time to view these superb works of art. Also, when this exhibition closes, many of the pieces will be moving on to an exhibit at the Attorney General's Office. There are two main reasons for having an art show at the law library. The first one is furthering the concept of the law library as a destination-bringing in people that normally would not have a reason to come to the law library. The second reason is to obtain art for the law library. Before the art show, we had many blank walls. As a result of this show, donors so far have purchased at least four pieces to remain on permanent display. I would like to thank our sponsors, whose contributions assisted financially in producing this show: River City Bank Thadd A. Blizzard, Esq.of Weintraub, Genshlea, Chediak & Sproul Davis & Leonard LLP Ruth Downes Edward Henning Jacobsen & McElroy Kanter Immigration Law Office Law Offices of Rothschild Wishek & Sands Rick Mitchell, Thomson West Tom Otter, LexisNexis Sandi Wasserman Wiley Manuel Bar Association Women Lawyers of Sacramento Linda Wood, GBC Realtors Yamshon Family Trust I also would like to thank the donors for their generous support: Aioli Bodega Espanola Albertsons Ambrosia Café & Catering B Street Theatre Belli Grill Bogle Winery Café Soleil Camelia Symphony Orchestra Jewel Collection J. Lohr Winery LIMN Furniture Paragary's Safeway Steve Pelletta River Stage Don Sebastiani & Sons Tapa the World Trader Joe's Talbots Winery Wine Warehouse And a special thanks to the Solomon Dubnick Gallery and Joseph F. Harbison, III for their generous contributions. On another note, the law library is an exhibitor at the upcoming 19th Annual Government Technology Conference held in the Sacramento Convention Center from May 11th to the 13th. We are showcasing our innovative uses of technology in their "Government Solutions Center". Visit http://www.govtech.net/gtc/ for more information.
