The weather was sunny and dry, and golfers tested their skills on the 18-hole course with the chances to win great prizes. Several would-be golfers learned the sport for the first time, and an army of volunteers made sure the day went smoothly. The cocktail hour was held at The Abbey and its course-side patio, followed by a dinner in the Grand Ballroom. Over 200 attendees came to celebrate Thomas M.

On November 3, we will host our popular and very well attended “Taste of the Region & Business Showcase” at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Suffern, NY. This is always a fun event and provides participants an opportunity to network as well as sample delicious food & wine from local restaurants. On December 12, the Chamber hosts it’s “Annual Holiday Luncheon” at the Crowne Plaza. This is one of the Chamber’s biggest and best events. We will, as we do every year, honor our 2014 Citizen, Organization and Company of the Year. Please accept my invitation to join us. We offer over 40 events every year. There is something for everyone and every schedule. Visit www.mrcc.biz for information about the Chamber and all of our great upcoming events. I’ll see you out there! Martha Harvey MRCC President Community Relations Director/Human Resources SHARP Electronics Corporation MeMBeR neWs BRiefs • Suzanne Ordas Curry of Write Ideas PR has announced that she is the new President of CASA for Children of Bergen County, a non-profit that advocates for children in foster care. She is also now the publicist and an associate producer for the new comedy series called Weight, starring Emmy-Winner Martha Byrne, coming to multiple platforms in 2015. Suzanne Curry • Hospitality executives Frank O’Dea and Greg Dodge engaged Superior Technology Solutions of Pearl River, NY, to create a labor scheduling application, Schedule Cloud, by One Touch. The cloud-based software was rolled out in September of 2013 and is now actively used by hospitality giants Restaurant Associates, Wolfgang Puck, and Universal Studios in several markets including New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Washington DC. The software pricing is very competitive and is based on the number of users. Schedule-Cloud can be used on the enterprise level or for smaller caterers and special event companies. Superior Technology is already working on new enhancements for the mobile version of the application. • The fourth season of Rockland Boulders baseball was a historic one for the franchise both on the field and in the stands. During the 2014 campaign, Rockland welcomed their 500,000th fan to Provident Bank Park as more than 175,000 folks piled into the stadium for various events. The Boulders led the league in overall attendance (159,739) and average attendance (3,182 per game) for the third straight season. On the field, Rockland earned a franchise best 56 wins during the regular season, finishing with a record of 56-40 and capturing their first ever league pennant. The momentum only increased into September as the Boulders rolled to their first Can-Am League postseason title, defeating the New Jersey Jackals in the Championship Series in six games. One individual also set new league records in 2014 as first baseman Jerod Edmondson became the all-time hits leader in Can-Am League history while setting a new career mark for runs scored. As a squad, Rockland led the league in nine different offensive categories while seeing three players earn All-League honors. Edmondson, along with outfielders Ryan Stovall and Antone DeJesus were named Can-Am League All-Stars while DeJesus was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year. Manager Jamie Keefe was also named the Can-Am Manager of the Year, the second time he has earned that honor in his career. The success continued away from Provident Bank Park as three different Boulders had their contracts purchased by Major League organizations in 2014. Infielder Steve Nyisztor was signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks and assigned to Single-A Hillsboro where he helped the Hops win the Northwest League Championship. Pitcher Sean Bierman was bought by the Atlanta Braves and assigned to High-A Lynchburg while fellow hurler Joe Donino was signed by Arizona in late September. • The Sheraton Mahwah Hotel has recently made significant upgrades to their Guest Rooms. New Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Beds are now in place in all 225 guest rooms to provide an even more comfortable night’s rest to visitors. In-room Safes have been installed in all 225 guest rooms as well, and all rooms have had a second cordless phone added. For your dining pleasure, new menus have been created for the Atrium Lounge and the Fountainview Restaurant, and there are wonderful new selections available for inroom dining.

The excitement surrounding this annual event continues to grow and this year was further fueled by the extensive network of Tom Eastwick. A special thanks to all of the sponsors who, through their generosity, helped MRCC raise a record amount of revenues on the topline: Inserra Supermarkets, Inc., SHARP Electronics Corporation, The Palisades Medical Center, PNC Bank, the seven Founder Level sponsors, and our media sponsor Bergen Health & Life. This event is the largest fundraiser for the Chamber and a minimum of 25% of the net proceeds are donated to a charity of the Honoree’s choosing. Mr. Thomas M. Eastwick chose The Eastwick Foundation as the charity to receive the charitable contribution from this event. Philanthropy was the focus of our Humanitarian’s address as he handed everyone a $5 bill and gave each attendee the opportunity Deborah Richin, Vice President of the Golf Outing, would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to Mr. Eastwick, all of our sponsors and contributors, as well as the hardworking golf committee for a most successful Golf Outing and Humanitarian Dinner. to give back. $1275 was handed out, $2856 was collected, and Tom Eastwick will match the $2,856. As a result, local food charities will receive donations totaling $5,712 at MRCC’s Holiday Luncheon on December 12, 2014. The Eastwick Foundation will receive a charitable contribution from the net proceeds of the Outing and a matching donation to be made by our Honoree Thomas M. Eastwick. “I am proud to be leading the Golf Committee and providing the resources for The Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce to serve our business community and provide funding for scholarships,” said Deborah A. Richin, CFP®, VP of the Golf Committee. There is no resting on laurels at this dynamic business organization, as plans for the 24th Annual Golf Outing will soon be underway.
