"Northern Lights": Northern Lights: September 2012

A Message from BRANNJ President, Glen Lumia

Summer is over and the Fall season is fast approaching. September is a month to remember the summer past and look forward to football season, leaves turning colors and BRANNJ activities. Below my message you will read about upcoming events including a BRANNJ "FUNdraiser" to be held at my home.

September is also Associate Appreciation Month and I would like to thank all of the associate members within BRANNJ for their continued membership in our association and a special thank you to those associates who volunteer their time and invest financially in our industry through sponsorships. I would like to also give you NJBA's and NAHB's special message to associate members as well;
