Golf Tournament: Next, the ABAS Law Foundation took
over the task of organizing the annual ABAS Golf
Tournament. Its main organizer, Mike Nakagawa, was called
to the bench in Las Vegas, leaving Bob Tokunaga, Clay
Tanaka, Jeff Ogata and the Foundation to fend for themselves.
Foundation treasurer and golfer Jeri Paik volunteered
to keep the tournament going last fall against all odds, and
with others' help she did a credible job.
Joint ABAS and Foundation Installation: On January 10, 2007,
Justice Tani Cantil -Sakauye, Sacramento's only Asian/Pacific
Islander appellate justice, swore in the boards of ABAS and the
Foundation in the historic Library and Courts Building.
2007 Wine Tasting: ABAS and the ABAS Law Foundation
hope to see you at the Fifth Annual Wine Tasting at Pavilions on
Thursday evening, May 3, 2007. The cost is reasonable, and
those who aren't interested in wines can come and enjoy the
food and company. See the announcement on the back cover.
And if you golf, we hope to see you at the ABAS Golf
Tournament at Teal Bend next fall.
