Mark Your Calendar for Two Stellar Events this Fall
September 24—10th Annual Golf & Tennis Outing: Jointly hosted by ABI, the New York Institute of Credit, and the Northeast Chapter of the International Factoring Association, this event will include a shotgun golf tournament and a tennis tournament, followed by cocktails, dinner, and awards at the Montammy Country Club in Alpine, N.J.
November 19—Mid-Atlantic Endowment Wine Dinner: Please join the ABI Mid-Atlantic Region Endowment Fund Committee for a multi-course wine-pairing dinner featuring the wines of Le Cadeau Vineyard in Oregon. The event will be held in Wilmington at Domaine Hudson in conjunction with the Delaware Views from the Bench Program, being held on Monday, November 23rd. Thank you to our sponsors Gavin/Solmonese and Polsinelli. If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact Sharisa Sloan at ssloan@abi.org or 703-739-0800.
Both of these events are great opportunities to network with colleagues in the bankruptcy and insolvency field and, more importantly, to support the Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund.
