From Suzanne_Hickok at id.uscourts.gov Mon May 3 14:05:50 2021 From: Suzanne_Hickok at id.uscourts.gov (Suzanne Hickok) Date: Mon, 3 May 2021 20:05:50 +0000 Subject: [CLBS] May 5 Brown Bag Message-ID: Good Afternoon - I can't believe we are already into May! But since it is the beginning of May, that means the Bankruptcy Clerk Case Administrators are putting on a brown bag presentation this week. If you haven't already made plans for margaritas at lunch to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, join the brown bag party for CLE credits - I heard a rumor (or maybe I am just making it up) that if you attend wearing a sombrero, and leave your video on for all to see, you may receive extra credit!

I also want to give a big shout out to Doug Merkley for wearing his sombrero to the presentation (If I was making bets, I would have put money down on Patrick Geile as the sombrero wearer, so it's a good thing no gambling was involved!). While there isn't really any extra CLE credit for you Doug, you have my thanks for making my day just a little brighter!

The facility is apparently the only game in town (it's a well-off resort community) and they require full payment for the whole summer to save your spot, and they've done this the last few years. Family needs the child care so husband and wife can work. Trustee says it is a prepayment that needs turned over. I think it's an ordinary course payment that is defensible, but come at me if you think I'm wrong. -- Aaron J.
