It?s probably far too dangerous to comment on the college football playoffs (or the season), so I won?t venture into that territory, other than to note that the W&L Generals finished up 7-4, including a win over traditional rival Hampden-Sydney, ending up third in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Exciting news in Pensacola this week with SailGP establishing its North American training base here at the newly completed American Magic High Performance Center (built by one of our good GC clients). If you?re asking yourself, ?What?s SailGP?? ? watch this for a few minutes. 😊 Our monthly CLC conference call will be, Monday, January 12, 2026 , starting at 11:30 A.M. (Eastern) / 10:30 A.M. (Central). The agenda is attached. Minutes to follow. PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR CLE THIS MONTH IS SEPARATE FROM OUR MEETING AND BEGINS AT NOON (Eastern). The Flyer is attached. We will adjourn our meeting in time to log off and connect to this special CLE. Please note that you must register in advance, but the CLE is free. The CLE is entitled: On Ethical and Cultural Considerations in Pro Bono Representation of Small Business Clients. This informative program will feature representatives from Community Development Legal Services ? Florida Community Development Legal Project. This program will be a joint presentation hosted by the Business Law Section Pro Bono Committee, the RPPTL At-Large Member Pro Bono Committee, and the CLC Pro Bono Subcommittee. This program will take place immediately after the CLC?s January business meeting from 11:30am-12pm; please note that in order to attend this free CLE, you must click this link to register: https://link.edgepilot.com/s/d8c25e40/0lHwq_HYaU63MpPxsx4m2w?u=https://member.floridabar.org/s/lt-event?id=a1RWQ00000LtXSH2A3%23/Overview -- YOU WILL NEED TO BE LOGGED INTO THE FLORIDA BAR WEBSITE IN ORDER TO REGISTER, so I suggest doing that first. This CLE will provide you with practical guidance on how you can get started providing transaction representation to qualifying non-profits and small businesses. Substantive discussion will take place regarding methods of pro bono delivery, as well as the process and criterion of the qualification of non-profits and small businesses. Here?s the link to record your attendance. And you can view those who have registered here. And finally, here?s the link and information to connect to the meeting. I look forward to seeing everyone.
