NEWSWOMEN'S CLUB OF NY

COCKTAIL HOUR

 

The Newswomen's Club of New York in hopes of exploring synergies and uncovering possible story ideas invited CineWomen NY members to join their happy hour on Friday, January 12 at the National Arts Club in NYC. Turns out the conversations were many and quite lively, libations flowed, and new friends and contacts were made. Oh! And did we mention everyone looked great. The National Arts Club has a dress code.

A Great Time Was Had By All!

(scroll down for pix!)

The Sixth Annual CWNY Benefit was on Wednesday, November 15th at Phebe's. Laura Paglin was honored with the 2006 Someone to Watch Award for her film No Umbrella: Election Day in the City. And we still can't figure out how the table Christina Kotlar was sitting at didn't win any raffle prizes -- because there were a lot of 'em...hmmm...do we smell a scandal? Thank you so much to Film Emporium for sponsoring the evening.
