The Momentum WomenTM gathered for cocktails, business networking, and hors
d'oeuvres to honor Julia in the elegant pet-friendly flagship location of TD
Bank on Madison Avenue located near Bryant Park where Fashion Week is held
annually twice a year. The Momentum Women were encouraged to bring their special
guests-- their adorable pet dogs--in keeping with TD Bank's policy of being "pet
friendly" at their branches where they provide doggie treats and water. Guests
attendees also included executives and spokespeople from the  New York Humane
Society and North Shore Animal League, including host Beth Ostrosky. The event
captured the spirit of women who share the drive to be represented as a whole to
the animal community.
