Norris McLaughlin, P.A. Women’s Forum
Successfully Mixes Business, Pleasure & Charity
Bridgewater, NJ (May 28, 2010) – The Norris McLaughlin, P.A. Women’s Forum collected and donated over 75 pairs of shoes to the Resource Center of Somerset as a result of a charity drive held at its Ladies’ Night Out Networking Reception on May 18, 2010. The reception was held at the Morris Museum where guests enjoyed “The Shoe … Must Go On” exhibition, which explored more than fifteen themes and featured footwear of distinguished individuals who share a special connection to the state of New Jersey, including Governor Chris Christie and Thomas Edison, among many others.
“The event was a huge success. We hosted an amazing group of generous women who enjoyed each other’s company, and who experienced an innovative exhibition in a beautiful venue,” said Karen Thompson, Co-Chair of the Women’s Forum and a Member of the firm.
“Domestic abuse will affect one in four women sometime in their lives and 40% of teenage girls. We applaud the work being done by the Norris McLaughlin, P.A. Women’s Forum to help build awareness,” said Executive Director Paloma Amar-Coleman.
The Norris McLaughlin, P.A. Women’s Forum is comprised of approximately 30 women attorneys who excel in their areas of legal expertise.
