    MACDL 30th Anniversary Celebration

    Thursday, June 8th

    6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

    Harraseeket Inn, Freeport, ME

    β€œTo be an effective criminal defense counsel, an attorney must be prepared to be demanding, outrageous, irreverent, blasphemous, a rogue, a renegade, and a hated, isolated, and lonely person - few love a spokesman for the despised and the damned.”
    ― Clarence Darrow

    On behalf of MACDL's Events Committee (Steve Schwartz, Lenny Sharon, Walt McKee, and Amber Tucker):

    You are cordially invited to join MACDL as we celebrate--a smidge belatedly--our 30th anniversary at the beautiful Harraseeket Inn in Freeport, Thursday, June 8th, at 6:00 p.m.

    Former MACDL Board Presidents are invited to attend our celebration for free (registration is still required).

    In addition, any attendee can register to attend at various sponsorship levels:

    $500 for Renegades,

    $250 for Rogues, and

    $100 for Rebels.

    The cost for all other attendees is $50 per person.

    Dinner will be buffet style with a cash bar.

    Cocktail hour will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. outside the Harraseeket with two free (beer/wine) drink tickets for each attendee, as well as snacks and unlimited non-alcoholic beverage options for all.

    Space is limited, so please sign up as soon as possible!

    Also, if you have photographs or memories you would like to share at the celebration, please send them to me at mainemacdl@gmail.com.
