*** Get Healthy and Help the American Lung Association
Proving that legal professionals are not only smart, but also creative, the DBA team name for the “Run the Register” fundraiser on Feb. 25 is “Lung Time No Sue.” DBA member Greg Cairns submitted this fun (and tongue-in-cheek) name and will receive a Visa gift card for his great contribution. You can sign up for the event — a trek up 47 flights to the top of the Wells Fargo Building — at www.runtheregister.com, under our team name. It’s a great way to get in shape for the New Year! Contact Mary at mdilworth@cobar.org with any questions.
