 Many thanks to John Cioletti and the team at Reno’s Appliance for hosting our Multi-Association Business Summer Social on July 14th at their beautiful Paterson showroom.  Thanks also to the many BANNJ members and guests in attendance along with members from ASID, NKBA, AIA, NARI, and Metro.   

Reno’s pulled out all the stops once again to provide an exciting evening of industry networking, fabulous food, live music and fantastic prizes. 

If you were unable to attend the event, be sure to join us at Reno’s on October 20th for the Annual Pre-Holiday Networking Party and take the opportunity to visit Reno’s expansive showroom of quality and luxury appliances.  See photos from this and all BANNJ events at our photo gallery https://www.bannj.org/image-gallery/.   

Our next upcoming event is our Annual Business Showcase & Beefsteak on Thursday, September 29th.
