On Monday, June 1st, with another day of perfect weather conditions, NJWLA and ECBF co-hosted our annual FORE Women Golf Outing & Clinic. We kicked off a remarkable day with a delightful lunch and an engaging, interactive pep talk from our fabulous golf pros, creating an atmosphere of encouragement and inspiration. The beautiful course at Cedar Hill Golf & Country Club in Livingston provided the perfect backdrop for both seasoned golfers and those new to the sport, as some enjoyed the challenge of 18 holes while others participated in clinics led by an incredible group of pros. We all gathered to reconnect and network with friends and colleagues at the end of the day and to support our charitable partner, Danny’s Pantry. We were thrilled to help raise awareness and funds for the pantry and to welcome Honorable Jessica Allen to share the background of the program and the benefits to its recipients. Danny’s Pantry, named in loving memory of Judge Esther Salas’ son, was opened by the District of New Jersey and is open to participants in DNJ’s problem-solving courts, which are aimed at helping defendants rehabilitate and avoid recidivism.

As always, we thank our generous sponsors, our supporters and, of course, our attendees!
