Minnesota Young Lawyers Mingle at Depo International Sponsored Event
The Hennepin County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division got a helping hand from Depo International’s Minnesota Office at its Young Lawyers Happy Hour Mixer on September 24, 2009. Depo International, along with Eide Bailly, LLP, sponsored the mixer as a way for lawyers under the age of 36 and those newly admitted to the Minnesota State Bar to meet and network with each other in a relaxing, social environment.
“This company believes strongly in supporting and advancing the legal communities that it serves and so being a part of events like the Young Lawyers Mixer is essential to that belief,” says Rose Fleming of Depo International. “And that’s why we’re always looking for ways that we can get involved,” she adds.
Depo International’s team of Founder Patricia Carl, Managing Partner Angela Carl, Client Relations Director Perri Campion, and court reporter Brandi Bigalke, had a wonderful time mingling with the many invited young lawyers and guests, and sent each of them home with a takeout box of their famous cookies.
Patricia Carl credits the evening’s success to the hard work and obvious dedication of The HCBA Young Lawyers Leadership Members, particularly Social Director Anne Lindberg who led the organizing and planning efforts.
“I also want to thank Anne for her creative selection of appetizers,” says Carl. “I’ve never seen such a fabulous display of comfort food – mini sliders, dogs, brats, mac and cheese, onion rings and fries, and mini shot glasses of tomato soup with grilled cheese! Way to go, Anne! And since we had an abundance of drink tickets – the martinis were flowing. Great venue and event!”
DI Sends One Lucky Football Fan to Vikings vs. Packers Game
The object of the “Make the Right Call” giveaway was simple—schedule the most depositions with Depo International in the month of September.
The prize was huge—a pair of tickets to watch the Minnesota Vikings take on the Green Bay Packers.
And the competition was tough as hundreds of lawyers throughout the Twin Cities fought to score the big win.
But it was Jonathan Miller, Esq. of Meagher & Geer who made the right call that landed him amidst all the game day action at the Metrodome for the October 5th game.
Miller doesn’t hide the fact that he’d been hoping to snag this coveted prize. “Thank you for the Vikings tickets! I’m actually looking forward to a Monday now,” Miller joked shortly after winning.
Depo International also presented runner up Christopher Yetka of Lindquist & Vennum with a beer basket filled with all the refreshing fixings for an at-home football party.
And Monday night’s game ended with even more winners after Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings handed a huge, frustrating loss to the Green Bay Packers. It was a fantastic football giveaway event that couldn’t have turned out any better if Depo International had planned the whole thing!
 
DI Treats Clients to Fabulous Boat Cruise
In keeping with its motto "What makes us happy is making you happy," Depo International made good on that promise with a client appreciation bash complete with delectable dishes, great company and friendly conversation amidst the majestic beauty of Lake Minnetonka. Depo International invited clients and guests on a relaxing three-hour cruise across the lake on August 27, 2009.
As always, Depo International went all out to show appreciation to its many clients. Client Relations Director Perri Campion worked hard preparing each scrumptious dish herself and, of course, no Depo International celebration is complete without fun prizes. Lucky winner Jeff Haff took home a set of Twins tickets and Brenda Darkow of Bernick & Lifson snagged a trendy Burberry scarf.
Company Founder Patricia Carl extends a special thanks to all the court reporters, staff, and guests who helped make the evening so memorable. “These events are always so much fun for us to become better acquainted with our clients and show them how much we appreciate them,” she says.
Carl and her staff are already working on plans for next year’s client appreciation party and, if it’s anything like this year’s, Depo International clients won’t want to miss it!
  
Depo International Big Sponsor at Golf Tournament
The Hennepin County Bar Foundation 2009 Charity Golf Classic held on August 10 at Burl Oaks Golf Club in Minnetrista was a huge success, thanks in part to beautiful weather, an amazing turnout and the dedicated effort of Depo International. Depo International has proudly and consistently supported the event and this year was no exception. Patricia Carl, Angela Carl, Molly Sandas and Perri Campion of Depo International enjoyed the beautiful summer weather, handing out refreshments and snack bags, cheering on all the players, and, of course, proudly representing the company’s sponsored hole with a “closest to the pin” contest.
The lucky golfer of Depo International’s grand prize—a giant, fifty-inch, plasma screen television--was The Honorable Charles Porter, Hennepin County District Court Judge. But the real winners are the kids who benefit from The Link, a program for at-risk youth. Judge Porter announced plans to donate his prize to that program. “We couldn’t be more proud or supportive of his decision, as I’m sure they will be delighted to have a new television,” says Depo International founder Patricia Carl who jokingly adds that as much as he loves to golf, Judge Porter doesn’t have time to watch television anyway.
Carl says she was very pleased to see such an amazing turnout at this year’s outing. This is the thirtieth year that Depo International has served the Hennepin County Bar Foundation Golf Classic as a sponsor and Carl doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. “We’ll continue to be right there for at least another thirty!” she says.
