Lawctoberfest 2007

Raising money for the LLA Foundation

The second annual Lawctoberfest and auction for the benefit of the Lycoming Law Foundation took place October 20, 2007.  The auction netted nearly $2,000.00, besting last years total.  The event was sponsored by the LLA Young Lawyers division.

Thirty-two LLA members and guests feasted on food with a German theme and hand crafted beers at the Bullfrog Brewery.  Before and after dinner, the bidders circulated pushing the bids on donated items ever higher. 

At 9:30, the bidding closed and Young Lawyers chair Ryan Tira announced the winning bids and bidders.  Most seemed happy with their purchases, even those whose bidding may have gone a bit higher than planned - after all, the money goes to a good cause.

Among the items donated for the auction were a vintage photograph of the courthouse (Judge Anderson), dinner at DiSalvo's with Judge Muir (Rieders, Travis firm), dinner and a room package at the Herdic Inn/House (Elion, Wayne firm and Jessica Engel).  Also auctioned were Phillies, Flyers and Crosscutters tickets, rock climbing, flying lessons, a spa session, dining at The Old Corner, a Ryan Howard autograph and a souvenir Superior Court hat.
