The Federal Bar Association, South Florida Chapter, cordially invites you to attend the 35th Annual Federal Judicial Reception honoring the Federal Judiciary for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. This event is our most casual evening, no speeches and no sit-down dinner, just meeting and talking with our federal bench and bar over food and drinks. As in years past, we expect a tremendous turnout, and look forward to seeing everyone there.
