JUDGE DAWSON'S SEAFOOD FEAST

Calling all members, past and present, seasoned or new, or anyone looking for a quality Bar Association to join, Judge Herman C. Dawson, Sr., will be hosting one of his famous back yard Seafood Feast to launch JFB’s 2007 Membership Drive Campaign.

Judge Dawson’s get-togethers are truly special events. They are always well-attended by members of both the bench and the bar. This is a true benefit of membership.
