Attorney helps support Women’s Caring Program through August 15 event in West Bloomfield
Beth S. Gotthelf, a shareholder in Butzel Long’s Bloomfield Hills office, is putting her efforts behind another charitable cause to support the advancement of women in the workplace. Along with other influential women in the Southeast business community, Gotthelf, a Birmingham resident, will serve as a co-hostess for the Women’s Caring Program Twilight event to be held Thursday, Aug. 15 at the West Bloomfield home of Alicia Masse.
“I’m very interested in programs where women are actively supporting women, especially helping unemployed and underemployed women reach their potential,” said Gotthelf. “The Women’s Caring program twilight events, like the one in West Bloomfield, are fundraisers and networking opportunities where the money raised goes directly to help women enter and stay in the workforce, knowing their children are safe and well-cared for during the workday. It’s a program that helps women become self- supporting and ultimately be the best they can be while setting a positive example for their families.”
The Women’s Caring program began in 1979 as a small circle of friends who gathered to share stories, bring new friends to the group and strengthen relationships. Over the years, the expanding circle of women became especially concerned about the childcare needs of working mothers and their ability to pay for quality care for their children.

Rhodes appoints Judge Rosen as mediator for Detroit bankruptcy
DETROIT (AP) — The judge handling Detroit’s Chapter 9 bankruptcy case has appointed Detroit chief federal judge Gerald Rosen as a mediator in the case.
Rosen said in a statement Tuesday that his aim is to bring those involved in the bankruptcy case together “in a neutral forum, away from the glare of the spotlight” and resolve as many disputes as possible. He says he’ll work with a small team of other mediators.
The order from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes says “proceedings, discussions, negotiation and writings” from mediation will be confidential.
Detroit claims it has at least $18 billion in liabilities, from underfunded pensions and health care costs to bonds that lack city revenue to be paid off. The city is being run by state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr, a bankruptcy specialist.
