"An Affair to Remember"
By Tina Mazaheri

EARLY NINETY PEOPLE GATHERED ON OCTOBER 10TH AT
THE AWARD-WINNING INN AT BARLEY SHEAF FARM TO
CELEBRATE THE BUCKS COUNTY BAR FOUNDATION'S 15TH
ANNIVERSARY, AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER. Guests were greeted
with a glass of pink champagne, reminiscent of the movie
starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Scrumptious passed
hors d'oeuvres included short ribs, shrimp/avocado spoons
and soup shooters.
As you entered the beautiful barn at the Barley Sheaf,
you were transported to a whimsical world surrounded
by the beautiful paintings of resident artist and renowned
former trial attorney Martha Sperling, who exhibited her
One Woman Show: Beyond the Bend. Martha generously
donated ten percent of the price of all paintings sold that
evening as well as gifted a painting to the Foundation for
our silent auction. In addition
to the visual delights of Martha's
exhibit, guests were entertained
by Dave Dales Trio.

Market, purchased them three weeks before the event,
and kept them alive to be used in the decorations.

An enormous thank you to Foundation Trustee, the
Honorable Rochelle S. Friedman, for her meticulous
planning and execution of this event. Judge Friedman
saw to every detail of this event from the guest list, to
the entertainment, to the ambiance of the room; all were
Her Honor's vision. Thank you to Liz Fritsch for serving on
the ad hoc committee and to Grace Deon for arranging
the breathtaking flower arrangements - another artistically gifted attorney. It should be mentioned that Judge
Friedman spied the most vibrant Fall plants at Rice's

Judge Friedman also had the novel idea of having the Fred
Astaire Dancers come and perform a dance exhibition for
us - think Dancing with the Stars quality dazzle. It was the
first time I saw our members stop socializing during an
event to pay attention to the show.
A delicious dinner of shrimp cocktail, raw oysters, carving
stations and other yummy food was served, followed
by delectable desserts including chocolate-covered
