SOMA Living October 2022

REAL ESTATE

I have been a realtor in the South Orange/Maplewood Community for over fifteen years. SOMA has given me a place to raise my family, earn a living and make lifelong friends. Because SOMA has given to me, I feel it’s important to give back to SOMA. Through the years I have sponsored and supported many community causes and events including: Maplewoodstock, SOPAC, The Dickens Christmas Village, South Orange Playday, Seton Village Food Trucks, CHS Team Sports and many more. I’ve learned that giving back feels good. It’s rewarding. It allows me to meet other community members that offer diverse interests, skills and talent. Supporting our neighborhood supports me. If you have a hobby, you can find others that share it here. Like gardening? Join the Memorial Park Conservancy. Reading? Donate your time to the Achieve Foundation. Enjoy the arts? Volunteer at the 1978 Maplewood Arts Center. Want to make a difference? Give to one our local food pantries. This October I am happy to sponsor the Seton Village HOLA Fest, Spooky Spiotta Halloween and the SOMA Artists Studio Tour. These events are always fun and bring the community together. From Ballet to Baking to Baseball, SOMA offers plenty of public and non-profit organizations to get you involved. Give your time and you might be surprised what SOMA gives you back.
