Joel Davis, as a former Boulder City Council member, participated in the Boulder sesquicentennial celebration at City Hall in early March. In acknowledgement of his status as a historical figure, Joel has since given an oral history interview for the Boulder Public Library history collection.
Peter Dietze, Joel Davis and Karl Kumli attended the 25th Anniversary dinner of the Boulder County Bar Foundation on Sunday, March 8. David Thrower was inducted as a new member of the Foundation at the meeting, completing a silver anniversary circle of sorts, since Joel Davis was celebrated as one of the founding trustees of the Foundation. David joins Peter, Joel Davis, Karl, Joel Maguire and Carmen Danielson as current members of the Foundation. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial support for legally related charitable institutions as diverse as the Immigration Legal Center, the Native American Rights Foundation and the St. Vrain Parenting Center.
Karl also traveled to Boston in late February to attend the mid-year meeting of the National Conference of Bar Presidents. Karl will take the reins of the Boulder County Bar Association at the end of June, 2009. Steve Closky served as BCBA President from 2006-2007, and so will be on-call to keep Karl on the straight and narrow through his presidency.
Josh Anderson and Karl Kumli attended a recent Colorado Energy Summit to further their knowledge of how funds from the economic stimulus legislation will be made available in the Colorado energy industry.

New Admittees Reception
