President's Message
Greetings Langston Family:
Although we continue to live in difficult economic times, membership
is thriving and sponsorships are still stable. In August, Langston held
its inaugural golf tournament at Chester Washington Golf Course.
Approximately 60 golfers supported this fun and exciting event. We
look forward to expanding this tournament in the future and making
it an annual event.
We are just a few weeks away from our 18th Annual Hall of Fame
Dinner which is scheduled for Saturday, October 17, 2009 at the
Downtown Omni. There is quite a buzz circulating about the
honorees. They include two Langston past presidents (Hon. Maxine
F. Thomas (post-humously) and Hon. Allen J. Webster, Jr.), an
entertainment icon (Leroy T. Bobbitt), and a wonderful/inspiring jurist
(Justice Candace D. Cooper). I encourage you to buy tickets early
because this event, like the Installation Dinner, will certainly sell-out.
Langston will experience another first on Thursday, November 12,
2009. This year, the Family Law Committee was formed to address
issues affecting our community and families. Disturbingly, domestic
violence is a topic often ignored and we intend to bring light to this
issue, by hosting a reception acknowledging those in the community
who fight against this terrible evil. This is not merely a legal issue as
each of us knows someone who has been affected by domestic
violence.
Our organization is only as strong as our member participation and
while there has been an increase in attendance, we could be much
stronger. Remember to give at least one hour per month to
Langston and attend one of our many events throughout the
upcoming months. Our goal is to be more of a presence and force in
the legal community, but we can only do that with our members'
support. Together let's continue to push forward into the future.
With Many Thanks,
Jamon R. Hicks, Esq.
2009-2010 President
