My heart is heavy today, as I’m sure it is for all of you. Praying for peace, and keeping 20 little kids, their brave teachers, and their loved ones in my thoughts.

Zarwin Baum clients and guests came out in full force to support the Little Smiles Toy Drive at their offices last week by bringing an unwrapped toy or donating money to the purchase of toys for kids in the Delaware Valley. All proceeds will go to support the Little Smiles Foundation, a
nonprofit organization that provides toys, games, computers, VIP
outings, concert tickets and much more for children in local hospitals.
In Philadelphia, the efforts of Little Smiles go to support the children
at CHOP.

Christian DiCicco, Attorney at MyPhillyBankruptcy, former Councilman Frank DiCicco and Anthony V. Mannino, Farnese Chief of Staff. The DiCicco’s tell me their holiday tradition was to help others. No longer do they exchange gifts, but instead they donate money to charities that help people who are in need. I asked if Christian’s fiance Diane Johnson was on board with that? “She’s not in the family yet, she’ll get a gift.”

Mitch Kaplan greets guests, and introduces them to Tim and Brendan Smith (B*Smith Catering) who have been providing the delicious food served at the Zarwin Baum events over the past few years. Events at which the firm has raised over $150,000 for various charities. Joe Conklin hit the stage right afterwards and was hysterical in his dialog, but I have a great shot and story of him below.

Brian Haddad helps out so I can see what WIP’s funnyman Joe Conklin would look like with hair, and completing that look is the hot Stacey Kracher (Zarwin Baum Marketing Manager) on his arm.
