Dear Friends and Colleagues,
È con grande gioia (It is with great joy) that we invite you to join us on November 13 at the White House Restaurant for a special evening honoring John Cogorno and Dianne Liddy. These two extraordinary members of our legal community will be bestowed with the prestigious Hon. James J. Alfano Lifetime Achievement Award.
This award, named after the late Hon. James J. Alfano—the first Italian-American Superior Court Judge in Orange County—is a testament to exceptional legal careers and unwavering support of our organization. Judge Alfano was un uomo di grande cuore (a man of great heart), whose dedication and warmth left an indelible mark on the Orange County legal community.
Due to the challenges posed by COVID-19, we were unable to present this award in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Therefore, this year's celebration holds even greater significance as we come together once again, come una grande famiglia (like one big family), to honor those who have made remarkable contributions.
We are delighted to announce that Esquire-IT, Ferrucci Law Group, and Trials & Tech will be sponsoring this event. Their generous support helps us bring our community together for this special occasion.
To bring a smile, here's a little Italian joke:
Perché gli avvocati italiani amano il calcio? Perché sono bravi a difendere!
(Why do Italian lawyers love soccer? Because they are good at defending!)
We look forward to celebrating with you as we continue the legacy of excellence set by past recipients like Hon. James DiCesare (Ret.), Joe D’Antony, John DiCaro, and Andy Lachina.
Non mancate a questa serata di festa, cultura e cameratismo. Vi aspettiamo con impazienza!
(Don't miss this evening of celebration, culture, and camaraderie. We eagerly await you!)
