Get in the Spirit of Holidays with Franklin Lakes Chamber

Halloween seemed like it was just last week and Thanksgiving appeared to have just happened yesterday and now many of us are getting ready for the holidays. Shopping, Baking, Inviting Friends, Family and Colleagues to gather for promoting comradery, and yule time cheer at this time of year. With each day now approaching closer to our jubilee days one can only hope those drivers have just a little bit of patience and of course no more road rage. Stores offering discounts that end before you get there and lines that just seem to be moving slower then that of the fastest snail.

On-line shopping to fill wish lists, challenged with items out of stock and price matching; will I be able to get it and will I finish it all in time for the holidays.

Charity’s working hard to make many people’s holidays just a little bit brighter. The thought of giving a dollar or more can make us feel so good inside. That small donation you made today may just give you a lift that will last your entire day.

As the holidays grow nearer our time becomes more priceless than ever before; but wouldn’t it be nice just to take five and stop just once. Maybe just for an hour or perhaps a little longer; wondering already what, how and when they could take place even if I wanted it to. The idea of stopping for just a hot beverage seems like something in a fairy tale but you know would be enjoyed.

I’m John C. Morley and I am president of The Franklin Lakes Chamber of Commerce and after two years of hard work we have started to catch on. We are Building Unity in our community™ by Making Our Community Better one day at a Time™. I take this moment to personally invite you to our 2nd Annual FREE Cookie Exchange at Allstate Insurance located on 795 Franklin Ave, Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417. The event will take place on Dec 6, 2018 at 6PM but we do ask that you RSVP online at Franklinklakeschamber.org.

Stop by and bring some great homemade or store-bought cookies; be part of our speed networking and make some great connections with a community we are getting to come out of its shell. Yes, we have a few door prizes and a hidden surprise.

We are always trying to give to those less fortunate in our Chamber and we are asking if everyone that attends would please bring a new DVD for child between the ages of 8-16. After our event these will be given to boys and girls that don’t get to see new releases.
