Whether you're a long-time member or just landing here for the first time, welcome to the Millburn Short Hills Chamber of Commerce! It’s been a busy month here at the Chamber, filled with toy drives, events, festive parties, and a new executive director to name a few.
We kicked off the season with our November Coffee with the Chamber sponsored by Paper Mill Playhouse at their beautiful Carriage House. Even with our first snow of the season that morning, over 35 people were in attendance to connect and network, as well as learn about the renovations and upcoming events coming up at the theater. We saw many new faces and welcomed new members and businesses as well!
Our holiday party, held at Industrious at The Mall at Short Hills on December 11 was a fun and festive event with over 50 members and non-members joining us. Sponsored and hosted by Chatham + Short Hills City Lifestyle, it was a fantastic way to connect before the holidays. Prizes and giveaways were gifted from EVIVE Spas, La Pergola, Glaze Salon, Toastique, Portofino’s Restaurant, Paper Mill Playhouse, Mexican Spice, Chatham + Short Hills City Lifestyle and Morris City Lifestyle.
We recently completed our first-ever Toys for Tots drive which was a resounding success! Five local Chamber businesses including M&T Bank, Industrious at The Mall at Short Hills, EVIVE Spas, Signature Realty NJ, and La Pergola, hosted our drive by collecting new and unwrapped gifts at their locations. Both businesses and our community truly came through, donating hundreds of toys to children in need this holiday season.
The Chamber has great things planned for 2025 and we look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon! There’s no better time to sign up for our first Coffee with the Chamber at Eataly at The Mall at Short Hills on January 24. Register on our website or click here. As always, this is a free event for members; non-members, $20.
Over the past few weeks, we also had five new businesses join the Chamber. We’d like to welcome those new members and hope you check them out:
WCEC, Women's Business Center
AV Management
Color Theory Hair Salon
Haughey Brothers Landscaping
Portofino’s Restaurant
Lastly, in mid-November, we hired a new executive director, Michelle Lemieux. Michelle comes to us from a public relations, communications and writing background, having worked in a variety of industries including B2B and non-profit. Perhaps you’ve heard from her working the phones to chat with members or met her at one of our recent events. If you have questions about your Chamber membership, would like to host or sponsor an event, or have some thoughts on what you’d like to see from the Chamber in the new year, you can reach out to her directly at 973.379.1198 or info@millburnshorthillschamber.org
