Our mission is to promote local businesses in Franklin Lakes and the communities in the surrounding areas. We currently find ourselves in a business climate not seen for many years. Many of our customers and clients are unsure and need the support of reputable community businesses such as yours to reassure them that local, caring business still does exist. Please consider an application to our organization, or join us for our Annual Dinner with Community Leaders on April 29. The Franklin Lakes Chamber of Commerce will host its “Meet the Leaders of Franklin Lakes” dinner on Wednesday, April 29 at High Mountain Country Club, 845 Ewing Avenue, Franklin Lakes. The evening will include hors d’oeuvres, a buffet dinner, cash bar, Wii bowling, special fundraisers, and door prizes. The cost is $65 per person in advance; $70 at the door.
