Happy New Year! We are delighted to invite you to our Fifth Annual Scholarship Dinner to take place on March 19, 2013 at 6pm - further details and tickets are now on sale at www.vabadc.com.

We are currently working on creating a video highlighting the achievements of Vietnamese American lawyers in our community and would like to feature a select number of attorneys, such as you, who have something interesting to say about what it means to you to be a Vietnamese American lawyer. Yes- the question is broad, but so are the answers. We want your unique stories, funny anecdotes, and general reflections. We will bring a videographer to film your responses in an interview format with someone from our board moderating and asking questions. Any content used in the video will be pre-approved by you.

If you are interested and available, please reply to Thanh Nguyen at Thanh.Nguyen@CliffordChance.com or 312-451-7331.

Filming will take place next Sunday Jan. 27. We do not require you to send any written responses about what you would like to say but we ask you to prepare some material about what you would like to convey on film as we will allot each person 5 minutes of air time.

Good luck and thank you for contributing to this lawyer's project that will indelibly highlight the successes of our Vietnamese American legal community across generations and across practice areas, as well as demonstrate the creativity and energy of this group.

Best regards,

VABA-DC Scholarship Dinner Committee.
