Union County ELC Meeting - January 19
featuring
Senator Tom Kean Jr.
|
|
Friday, January 19
8:00 - 9:30 AM
Holiday Inn, Clark
Our ELC meeting will be the final event of a very busy week for the State of NJ.
The Christie / Guadagno team will have left office, the new Murphy / Oliver administration will have been inaugurated, and we will have all heard the new Governor's Inaugural Address.
Sen. Kean will be leading the Republican Minority in the State Senate during the upcoming legislative session. We've asked him to share his vision for the upcoming year.
As most of our regular ELC attendees know, Senator Kean represents the 21st Legislative District, which includes a major portion of Western Union County, as well as parts of Essex, Morris and Somerset Counties. We are looking forward to a most enjoyable and informative kickoff ELC breakfast.

Let's turn New Jersey RED. Life is why.
Friday, February 2, 2018
15th Annual National Wear Red Day
|
National Wear Red Day® and Go Red For Women® are why more than 670,000 women have survived heart disease and stroke since 2004. National Wear Red Day® is a massive national public awareness day the first Friday each February, urging women, people from all walks of life, businesses, towns, schools, the media, buildings and landmarks to "go red" and "glow red" to bring attention to the fact that heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 women.
On February 2, help us turn America RED with lifesaving awareness by wearing something red ... a red dress, tie, jacket, scarf, hat, blouse or shirt. Why? To show your commitment to reducing risk, improving health, and saving lives.
Illuminate your building, property or home RED!
