Thank you to Richard Gaynor of Middleton & Company and Kara Kaczynski, Esq., of Scarinci Hollenbeck for presenting a very informative seminar on Contracts and How to Protect Your Business on April 16th.  All attendees came away from the meeting with an important business overview of contract language, negotiation and how key circumstances apply to their company contracts.  

Our 67th Annual Golf Outing & Scholarship Awards is right around the corner on May 28th!  To date, we have over 90 golfers and well over 100 dinner guests for the event.  Special thanks to Jacuzzi, our Golf Outing Event Sponsor, and to all of our generous sponsors listed below:

Our Scholarship Awards Committee has chosen five area students pursuing a degree in the construction industry to receive awards this year.  
Those awards will be presented at the Golf Outing dinner on May 28th at River Vale Country Club.  Photos from the Golf Outing and the Scholarship Awards Dinner will be posted on our Facebook page after the event. 

Following our May golf outing, I hope to see everyone at our upcoming Lunch and Learn Seminar on Wednesday, June 18th  from 11:30am to 1:00pm at the Eastern Bergen County Board of Realtors in Hasbrouck Heights.  

Join us for lunch and get valuable information regarding building industry and real estate trends affecting the Northern, New Jersey housing market. A must attend meeting for all building industry professionals!
