I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and end to 2017! Thank you to everyone that came out for the PANO Holiday Event at the Holly-wood Casino. We appreciate all of the donations made by our members in support of the charity. Because of your generosity, Harbor received $662. It is always a good feeling to know you have helped someone, especially during the holidays. A big thank you goes out to Melinda Steiger for organizing the charity this year. My last thank you goes out to Mary Brownell, Troy Ery, and Kathryn Pauken for helping prepare the gifts and door prizes for the Holiday Event and the donation from Heban Sommer & Murphree that was put towards the purchase of door prizes. Everything that everyone does for PANO and the community does not go unnoticed and we are all so thankful! January’s membership meeting/CLE will be on January 22, 2018, at the Toledo Bar Association. We look forward to seeing everyone at the first meeting of 2018! We are always looking for new networking event ideas and would love to get membership input. These events are not limited to PANO members and can extend to family, friends, paralegals not in PANO, and attorneys. Lastly, March will consist of a membership meeting at the Toledo Bar Associa-tion and at Levis Commons in Perrysburg. Dates will be announced in next month’s newsletter. I hope everyone has a great start to 2018 and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
