ENDOWMENT HOSTS ICE CREAM SOCIAL, SILENT AUCTION AT MID-ATLANTIC WORKSHOP

The Anthony H.N. Schnelling Foundation thanks everyone who attended its first-ever Ice Cream Social at the Mid-Atlantic Bankruptcy Workshop in early August in Cambridge, Md. This event was free to attendees and their families and raised $2,000 for the Endowment. We had a wonderful turnout and hope to provide similar social events in the future. A huge thank you goes to our sponsors for making this event possible: Bayard, P.A., Wilmington, Del.; Forman Holt, Rochelle Park, N.J.; Polsinelli, Wilmington, Del.; and Donald A. Workman of BakerHostetler (Washington, D.C.).
