All Bar Social September 14 at a bar in River North

Hundreds of lawyers, law students, and judges are expected to turn out for an All Bar Social on Thursday, September 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Hubbard Inn, 110 W. Hubbard St.

It's kind of a mass membership drive. According to event organizers, each participating bar group in attendance will have a representative who will be available to explain their respective legal organization’s goals and benefits of membership.

As of August 31, each the following orgaizations had committed to participating: the Advocates Society, the American Arbitration Association, the Asian American Bar Association, the Appellate Lawyers Association, the Black Men Lawyers Association, the Filipino American Lawyers Association, the Hellenic Bar Association, the Illinois Creditors Bar Association, the Justinian Society of Lawyers, the Muslim Bar Association, the North Suburban Bar Association, South Asian Bar Association, and the Women's Bar Association of Illinois. Questions about the event may be directed to yls@chicagobar.org.

Tickets are $50 each. In addition, a Silver Sponsorship may purchased for another $50, while a Gold Sponsorship is available for $250. I'm not sure what it would cost to get your organization added to the event -- assuming you have an organization and it's not on the list above -- but, then, that might be an appropriate question to direct to yls@chicagobar.org.
