Photos by Hector Herrera New Ambassador Tours Target Prospective NCBA Members Renewing Friendships at Annual BBQ By Valerie Zurblis This year's BBQ at the Bar will go down as one the most successful and best BBQs in recent history, Nassau County Bar Association President Martha Krisel remarked. The weather was perfect, the food was terrific, members and guests were warmly welcomed, and those new to the profession got an inside look at what our Bar Association is all about. Each year the Bar hosts the popular BBQ not only to welcome all of its members back from summer, but also to actively recruit new members. Officers, Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs, Sustaining Partners, New Lawyers, and Non-Members sport badges to make it easier to connect. This year, a Special Ambassador proj- ect was initiated. Members of the New Lawyers Committee provided individual tours inside Domus to prospective student members to explain the building's history and the range of benefits of membership, and answer questions. We want to intro- duce them to our building, give them some history and talk to them about their legal careers, said Committee Co-Chair Michael DiFalco. Membership is free for law stu- dents and for the first year of admittance. Wendy Dolce, on tour with New Lawyers Committee Co-Chair, Jennifer Koo, said she lived in Nassau County. practices in New York City and was now coming back to open her own solo firm. I wanted to get rooted in the community. NCBA was the logical choice, she explained. See TOURS, Page 17 Peter T. Affatato Photo by Hector Herrera Peter T. Affatato, who served as the Nassau County Bar Association President (1985-86), died at the age of 92 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Known to many as the Dean of the Trial Bar, Affatato was a revered President who was one of the most honored officers in the history of the Bar Association. More than anyone I knew, Peter Affatato had the entire respect of the bench and bar, said Past President Stephen Gassman (1988-89), who served on the Executive Committee with Peter. This Bar Association was the love of his life. He was an inspi- rational leader, one of the great presidents of the Association. Peter was well-liked by just about everyone he met, taking the time to develop personal relation- ships with judiciary, peers, court employees and support staff alike and to appreciate their contribu- tions to the legal community. At NCBA, he would bring in cakes and goodies for the staff every Friday, and occasionally treated them to dinner. To accom- modate all who wanted to attend his installation as NCBA president, the ceremonies had to be moved to Supreme Court building. In 2006, when NCBA wanted to acknowledge the contributions of court employees to the legal system, an award was created and named after the esteemed past president. The Peter T. Affatato Court Employee of the Year Award, presented at NCBA's annual Law Day celebration, recognizes a non-judi- cial court employee who exhibits professional dedica- tion to the court system and its efficient operation, and who is exceptionally helpful and courteous to See AFFATATO, Page 16 Remembering Past President Peter Affatato
