Winter Dinner Wine Fest Rivals Garden Party for Fun & Success! SEE THE PHOTOS!
42 women lawyers, judges and law students had a wonderful time at Board member Jeri Parkin's beautiful home in Northville on Friday evening, January 22, 2010. Thanks to perfect planning by our hostess Jeri (a highly organized, creative real estate and business lawyer at Barris Sott), comfort food (lasagna, salad, wine and brownies), and a surprisingly competitive warm-up challenge from social chair and V.P. Allison "Bingo" Bach of Dickinson Wright, people agreed the Winter Dinner Wine Fest rivaled the success of the End of Summer Party last year at Judge Kirsten Frank Kelly's home. (And Jeri's carpets remained spotless!)
Attendees included WLAM State president Kim Winokur (a member of the Washtenaw Region), WLAM Wayne member 36th District Court Judge Kay Hansen (a "Bingo" winner), WLAM Wayne member Wayne County Juvenile Division Judge Lynne Pierce, State Representative Alma Wheeler Smith, Dem., who is running for governor and WLAM Wayne Region president Joni Van Genderen. WLAM members from Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw Regions mixed with scores of other women lawyers and law students from southeast Michigan.
Thank you all for coming, thanks very much to Jeri Parkin and Allison Bach, and a big thanks also to Treasurer Kathy Rogers for keeping track of the money!
