Hello All,

I hope you enjoyed your July 4th weekend.  Our monthly mixer this month falls on July 14, which happens to be another revolutionary day:  Bastille day!  On this occasion, instead of our usual ”most relaxing mixer ever” event @ the Hotel Figueroa, we are instead co-sponsoring the State Bar of California International Law Section’s mixer, along with a number of other bar associations, including the Los Angeles County Bar Association International Law Section, the Orange County Bar Association International Law Section, and the Los Angeles County Bar Association Corporate Law Departments Section.

This Networking Mixer is  from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., at the Cana Rum Bar, an elegant bar with a tropical flair located at 714 West Olympic Blvd in Los Angeles, (213) 745-7090.
This is a great opportunity to check out the Cana Rum Bar, which normally requires a membership to get in.  The membership fee for the night will be waived for everyone attending the Networking Mixer.  The Cana Rum Bar boasts 140 variations of small batch rum. To find the Cana Rum Bar, look for the neon CANA sign on Flower Street. The entrance to the Cana Rum Bar is in the parking garage.  Here’s their website:  http://213nightlife.com/canarumbar

No RSVP is needed. See you there!

Imad Elias,
President, AALASC
