Calendar of Events

Please make plans to join us for the premier Columbus Bar event, the 2011 Columbus Bar Foundation and Association Gala, on Saturday, March 12, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

This year's featured entertainment is The Second City. As you probably know, Second City's alums are iconic fixtures on television and in night clubs, including Tina Fey, Martin Short, Alan Alda, Ed Asner, Chris Farley, Bonnie Hunt, Shelley Long, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and Jim and John Belushi. We promise an entertaining (and hilarious) show that will be exclusive to our Columbus legal audience. Click here for an idea of what lies in store for the evening.


The Gala is the primary fundraising event for the Columbus Bar Foundation, which supports access to justice (pro bono and the Legal Aid Society of Columbus), professionalism, education about the law, and the administration of justice.

This year’s event promises to be one of the best ever. There are still tickets available for $200 per person which includes reception, dinner and entertainment by improv comedy group from Chicago, The Second City. To make a reservation, contact Kathy Wiesman at kathy@cbalaw.org or 614/340.2063.
