LOOKING AHEAD ANGELA KAVANAUGH | CAI-NJ CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

“Don’t wait until the fourth Thursday in November, to sit with family and friends to give thanks. Make every day a day of Thanksgiving!” — Charmaine J. Forde N ovember is one of my favorite months. It’s still warm enough to get outside for fun activities but we are also gearing up for the holiday season. It’s a month-long celebration of gratitude, delicious food, and spending time with family and friends. I am so very thankful for the committed leadership of the CAI‑NJ Board of Directors as they always choose what is best for the membership; the dedication of the New Jersey Legislative Action Committee (NJ-LAC) as they advocate for those living in common interest communities; all of the commit tee members who create programs and events for all mem ber representation groups of the chapter; the support of all members who value the benefits offered and the enthusiastic CAI-NJ team, that strives to make every program and event the best it can be. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for these important dates: November 6th — Move your clocks back and get one more hour of sleep. November 8th — Election Day, get out to vote and choose your advocates. November 11th — Veterans Day, honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
