HBA Summer Clerkship Program

Gerald,

The Opportunities for Minorities in the Legal Profession committee of the
Houston Bar Association would like to invite the first year summer associates
who are clerking at Enron this summer (and who obtained their position
through the Committee's First Year Summer Clerkship Program) to attend the
Committee's Third Annual Summer Associate Luncheon which will be held at the
Houston Club, 811 Rusk on Thursday 6/7/01 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Please forward this invitation to the two first year summer clerks that Enron
has hired through the HBA First Year Summer Clerkship Program - Alisha
Mahabir (South Texas) and Nabil Nachawati (U of H).

The theme of this year's luncheon is "Soaring to New Heights in the New
Millennium". The speakers will include, among other, City Council Member
Gordon Quan, the Honorable Vanessa D. Gilmore, Celso Gonzales-Falla, a
Partner at V&E, and Shawn Roberts of Abraham, Watkins, Nicols, Sorrells,
Matthews & Friend. The panelists will speak about the different aspects of
practicing law and living in Houston. Summer associates will have the
opportunity to ask questions and meet with the panelists and other prominent
minority members of the Houston legal community. The luncheon will also
serve as a great opportunity for the summer associates to learn about
Houston's dynamic and diverse legal practice and meet other minorities who
are clerking in Houston during the summer.

I hope that Alisa and Nabil will join us at the luncheon. I hope to see you
and some of your colleagues as well. Thanks, and please contact me if you
have any questions.
