Banding Together – Battle of the Law Firm Bands

image of sign

Walsh Colucci has a little known secret weapon at its disposal: the powerful sound of Larry and the Land Lawyers, a rollicking band led by three attorneys at the firm: the esteemed Mark Goetzman on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, the amazing Mike Kiefer on lead guitar, the super-cool John Rinaldi on the Bass Guitar. They are joined by the elusive Larry Clark (of Donatelli Development, Inc.) on Drums. Once again, Larry and the Land Lawyers and other area law firm bands rocked the infamous Black Cat stages at the 9th annual Battle of the Law Firm Bands to raise over $266,000 for charity. 100% of the money raised at this event is donated directly to Gifts for the Homeless, Inc. to purchase and distribute thermal underwear, sweatshirts, sweatpants, hats, gloves, socks, blankets and other essential new clothing items to local homeless adults and children throughout the Washington metropolitan area.

Gifts for the Homeless, Inc. (GFTH) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, which is a wholly volunteer-run organization. It has no paid staff and no overhead. All expenses, including any funds used for postage or to maintain their website, are donated directly by vendors or are paid for by area law firms or members of the Board of Directors. Every dollar donated goes directly to help local D.C. area homeless in need. For more information on Gifts for the Homeless, Inc., please visit their website: http://gfth.org/

Annual Juvenile Diabetes Golf Outing

Dear Friends,

I wish to thank everyone who contributed to our golf outing on June 7th. Please accept this letter as an expression of my appreciation for the generous support of all who contributed, played and helped with this year’s outing.

Thanks to your support, the event was a financial success. I appreciate the support of all of our sponsors, contributors and participants, and those who generously donated auction items and those who generously bid on them. As I am sure you are aware, contributions to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation are tax-deductible. We raised approximately $80,000.00 for Juvenile Diabetes from this event, which will be used for research for finding a cure for Juvenile Diabetes.

On June 7th we had 126 golfers at Westwood. We were also very fortunate again this year in having automobiles for the hole-in-one contests contributed by Jack Taylor of Alexandria Toyota, and Morty Zetlin of American Service Center. The weather even contributed!

Thank you for your participation and generosity. Your support is greatly appreciated. Please mark your calendar to save the date for our event next year which has been scheduled for June 20, 2011 at Westwood.

Very truly yours,

WALSH, COLUCCI, LUBELEY, EMRICH & WALSH, P.C.
