July 2018

BANNJ President, Anthony Volpe
The President's Message

I hope everyone is enjoying some time off with family and friends this summer.  We will be back in full swing with our calendar of fall events beginning on Thursday, September 13th with “Spirits & Cigars Under the Stars” at Ragazzi Lounge in Norwood.  Back by popular demand, this is an excellent event to make new business contacts, enjoy fantastic food, spirits tastings by some premier vendor distilleries, outstanding live music, cigars outdoors on the patio for those who are so inclined, prizes and more.  Many sponsorship opportunities are available for you to get your company name in front of Northern NJ builders and industry professionals.  If you missed last year’s inaugural event, be sure to join us this year!  See the Save the Date section below for our calendar of upcoming events and register for all events online at https://members.bannj.org/events.

BANNJ will be participating with the Center for Food Action in Englewood again this summer in the Tools for School campaign to provide donations of new backpacks and school supplies for Bergen County children in need.
