Finding friends in South Jersey is as easy as throwing on a little black dress!

May 4, 2011 - PRLog -- The Little Black Dress Club is proud to announce the official launch of its South Jersey/Philadelphia Chapter!

“We are very excited about the official launch of the Little Black Dress Club in South Jersey,” says Director, Nicolette Fedor. “The club is a great way for women to get connected with new friends and share great times.” Nicolette lives in Berlin and plans to host most events in the counties of Camden and Burlington, with an occasional event in downtown Philadelphia.  

Co-founders Christine Zellers and Jenny Holzer first came up with the idea in 2006 when discussing ways to meet new friends. They decided to create their own fun by starting a women’s social networking group in Washington, DC. According to the founders, a group like this is a must-have in women’s lives, just like the little black dress is a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. “It can be difficult to find like-minded friends if you are looking for an adventure,” says Zellers. “The LBDC is the perfect solution to this conundrum.”

The club keeps things interesting by appealing to the many interests of its members. For example, Holzer and Zellers like to sail and enjoy skiing and diving vacations, while other members like to keep it low key and relaxed with wine tastings and happy hours. In South Jersey, Director Fedor plans to sponsor a variety of events for local members. “I love nice dinners, wine tastings, and live bands. South Jersey and Philadelphia offer lots of fun things to do and interesting places to visit. I’m excited to share some of my favorites and find some new ones through LBDC!”

Zellers and Holzer envision the club branching out to other countries, but their current priority is training directors in club management. “This is a great opportunity for women to gain experience in networking, marketing and event planning,” says Zellers. “We are creating career development opportunities for our directors as we broaden our reach.”

Local merchants gain exposure by offering discounts for their products and services to members, such as free movie tickets, discounts at spas and beauty stores, and exclusive, unique events such as wine tastings and happy hours.
