West Orange Chamber Of Commerce: Virtual Thanksgiving Event

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The following letter to the editor comes courtesy of the West Orange Chamber of Commerce. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site.

2020 has been quite a year to say the least and with the leaves on the ground, Thanksgiving is upon us. This is a time of reflection. It is also a time for gratitude. While we have faced so many challenges, we have much to be thankful for and that includes being thankful for our West Orange community.

Every year, the day before Thanksgiving the West Orange Chamber of Commerce along with the UNICO, Rotary and Lions Club hosts a luncheon. This year a luncheon is not feasible but a wonderful lunchtime 60-minute Zoom Thanksgiving event certainly is.

We invite the entire community to join us at this special event. The registration can be found at westorangechamber.com. Those who register in advance will be entered into our door prize drawings.

The guest speaker is Gino Blefari, the CEO of HomeServices of America, a Berkshire Hathaway Company and the world's largest real estate brokerage organization based on transactions with over $253 Billion in real estate sales last year comprising over 370,000 home sales. Gino is inspirational and starts every day with gratitude. His story will make a difference in the life of every person who joins us.

A very special thank you to our presenting sponsors: JAG-ONE Physical Therapy

I am thankful to have been raised and work in West Orange and hope to see many of you on Wednesday, November 25th at noon.

Ken Baris
Thanksgiving Luncheon Chairman
West Orange Chamber of Commerce
