section update Sole Practitioner/Small Firm Section Update By Parag Y. Shah The Shah Law Firm [email protected] T he Solo Practitioner/Small Firm Section of the Atlanta Bar Association has an amazing year planned to help solo practitioners, small firms and the greater legal community improve their legal practice through the different events and activities we will be hosting. We began the year with a Joint Wine Tasting Social we had with the Elder Law and Tax Law Sections at Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, LLP. Each attendee was able to taste three red wines and three white wines, and wine experts were on hand to talk about the wines and answer questions. Hors d'oeuvres from Sawicki's Catering were provided. The event provided great networking opportunities and was a wonderful start to 2013. Georgia 30308, where Lori Wynne, owner and wardrobe consultant at Fashion with Flair, will be speaking about “Dressing Your Professional Best.” We are also very excited about our community service project at Project Open Hand on Saturday, March 16, 2013 from 11:45 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Project Open Hand prepares, packages, and delivers over 6,000 meals each day to homebound seniors and individuals with chronic and terminal illnesses. This community service event is open to everyone including family members.
