<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Please see my attached letter to you regarding the pending legislation to repeal the Bar Act and eliminate the WSBA as a legal entity. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I hope you will each review and consider my letter in advance of your meeting tomorrow. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I realize there are ongoing efforts to consider potential amendments to the legislation. I strongly urge the Court to simply take a position opposing the legislation and to encourage a more thoughtful approach to any potential restructuring of the WSBA. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely, </DIV>
