West Essex Board of Realtors hosted a well-attended wine and cheese networking event at the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens. Local REALTORS® enjoyed a beautiful evening overlooking the colorful iris gardens that contain over 14,000 irises of approximately 3,000 varieties.
Nancy Skjei-Lawes, President of the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens and local Realtor with Rhodes Van Note & Company, helped organize the event. In addition to the wine and cheese and the lovely gardens, attendees got to enjoy live music from a jazz duet, shop in the Bloom Room gift shop and participate in a 50/50 raffle which raised more than $200 for the Human Need Food Pantry of Montclair.
West Essex President Carol Tangorra thanked the attendees for coming and promised that the Board will be hosting a number of future events to enhance their opportunities to work cooperatively.
