President’s Message  
As the final weeks of summer wind down, it is time to look forward to our exciting fall events beginning with the new “Spirits & Cigars Under the Stars” on Thursday, September 14th at Ragazzi Lounge in Norwood. Thank you to the many sponsors who have signed on so far, and we still have some great sponsorship packages available for you to market your company to Northern, NJ builders and industry professionals. Be sure to attend and enjoy delicious culinary bites throughout the night, plenty of spirits tastings, wine, beer and a complimentary cigar all included.
