be discussed. Outside of regular committee meetings, President
Judge Del Ricci and our Court Administrator, Michael Kehs,
have been meeting regularly with the County's consultants.
Bench Bar Conference
We had a tremendous time at the Otesaga Resort Hotel in
Cooperstown, New York. The name Otesaga comes from an
Iroquois word for "A Place of Meetings." And what a meeting it
was! The MBA had 104 rooms of this 1909 grand resort, as we
welcomed 204 attendees, including 27 children, 94 members,
80 guests and 3 staff. The weather held, and on Friday night, we
gathered inside and listened to bluegrass music, sipped cocktails
on the veranda, and warmed ourselves by the fire pit overlooking
the lake; all were excellent venues to enjoy the evening. President
Judge Del Ricci delivered the State of the Judiciary Address in
a new format followed by a question and answer period. The
highlight of the address concerned new Supreme Court filing
rules to be effective January 2018 regarding sensitive personal
information under the AOPC's new Public Access Policy. Our
CLE speaker, Charles Fountain, author of The Betrayal, The
1919 World Series and the Birth of Modern Baseball, gave our

group insight into the little-known details of the "Black Sox"
scandal. Of course, hospitality, camaraderie, Quizzo, hosted by
Past President Bruce Pancio, relaxing along Lake Otsego, a trip
to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Ommegang Brewery, the Fenimore
Museum, and so much more made Bench Bar 2017 a wonderful
event.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the MBA staff for
their combined efforts in making Bench Bar 2017 a true success
for our members and the Bench. Look for photos and other
social media at #MBABenchBar17 on all of our social media
platforms.
Looking Ahead
Annual Membership Dinner
As we enter the fall, mark your calendars for November 3,
2017 for the Annual Membership Dinner at RiverCrest Golf
Club & Preserve, Phoenixville, PA. We will honor our 50-year
members and make other special presentations. Our 50-year
member list reads like a "Who's Who" of eminent attorneys.
