Meet New Member Health Coach Link, LLC:
|
Hello everyone! I'm Carolyn Bachino. We may or may not have met at a recent Chamber event so I am introducing myself and my business to you here and would like to
invite you to join my email list. We believe that certified health coaches and wellness coordinators are the missing link to improved health outcomes!
- Companies
- Healthcare providers and holistic health practitioners
- Individuals
When you
join my newsletter, you will receive
THREE FREE GIFTS
!
1. Your introduction to my 7 DAY HEALTH JUMPSTART PROGRAM
2. My e-book, Six Easy Steps to a Happy Marriage
and
3. FIVE DELICIOUS and HEALTHY SMOOTHIE RECIPES that I love!
After receiving all of these gifts, I am sure that you will quickly understand the benefits of being included in the
newsletter! You will have access to great offers to view upcoming free online conferences, local area networking events, special exclusive health coaching offers from me, free tele-seminar invitations, and information on a range of health topics.
More about Me -
I am an AADP Board Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach specializing in hormone health. I cater to the Orthodox Jewish community, because everything that I recommend is kosher certified, whether it be food or supplements and I understand the cultural sensitivities around that community, which I am a part of. However, I do work with all types of clients, male or female. If you are suffering from lack of sleep, inability to lose weight/sluggish metabolism, low energy, fertility issues, menopause, thyroid and/or adrenal dysfunction, or you are not sure exactly what is going on in your body, I can help you figure it out. I work alongside functional medicine providers and other health professionals, as needed. I can be your coach to help you work through the difficult transitions that come along with trying to implement lifestyle changes for yourself or your family.
My vision is to produce thriving and healthy families through helping stressed out working moms, because you moms are the glue that holds it all together for your family and I want you to feel loved, supported and empowered, every step of the way!
Getting Connected: Here is the newsletter registration page:
Also, here is a link to my upcoming free webinar on August 15th in the evening after you get home from the Greater Elizabeth Chamber networking event:

How one Member has grown his business with his Chamber Membership:
|
"I have been a proud member of the Greater Elizabeth Chamber of Commerce since 2015. Immediately after joining not only was I welcomed into a loving family of professionals headed by Gordon Haas and Yasmin Fisher, my Alarm company, New World Solutions, also benefited with the acquisition of new customers and great network connections in Elizabeth and neighboring towns.
I wholeheartedly recommend the GECC to anyone that is considering joining. It is the best kept secret in Union County and the gift that keeps on giving.
Each month the GECC works tremendously hard to put on networking events that fosters an environment of connections. You get to make friends and increase your business too! I have had at least one more new customer added each year since I have been a member just by going to the events.
Of course, like they say 'you've got to be in it to win it!"
You and your business can be a winner too! Join the GECC today and increase your business, while meeting great people. If you still have any questions or are unsure, please feel free to contact me on: 973.900.3442.
Thanks to the GECC, for the many referrals I have received over the years from being a member!

We'll lead you through the registration processes for the federal and state procurement systems, show you exactly where to go to get a clear picture of who's buying what, and share the secrets to becoming a sub-contractor, among other essential practices.
This is your opportunity to get the clear directions you need to get started in government contracting. No matter what you are selling, somebody in the federal or state government is probably interested in buying it! You'll start small, but some of our most successful clients started out with contracts worth just a few hundred dollars!

SAVE THE DATE:
SATURDAY JUNE 8, 2019
6th ANNUAL MULTI-CHARITY 5K WALK/RUN
The Generosity Series will be back in
Oak Ridge Park on
June 8, 2019 for another very powerful fundraising opportunity for your organization.
Generosity NJ's 5th annual multi-charity 5K walk/run just last month saw
8 nonprofit organizations raise over $120,000, achieving an unheard of $715.52 average raise per participant! This number is more than 20 times the national 5K average!
Participating charities: The Gateway Family YMCA, Second Street Youth Foundation, Essex County Family Justice Center, Restore Ministries, Jewish Family Service of Central New Jersey, Esophageal Cancer Action Network, The Theater Project, and Homefirst.
Generosity handles the traditional planning for this event, leaving the charities end to focus solely on recruiting fundraising participants (for which we provide directional support).
Generosity has raised over 7.4 million for our charity partners, and we do not take a penny of your fundraising or registration dollars.
"Generosity's event saw a greater ROI than any other event we have ever put on. We raised more than our own GALA, and it was easy to do." - Robert McGuire, Executive Director, Cerebral Palsy Nassau County, NY
You too can get into Generosity NJ 2019! Don't miss the early bird discount which expires September 28, 2018. Please reference
GE2019 for the early bird discount. For details contact Amanda Gerrity at

Did you miss out on 4th Annual Hot Dog Day?
|
The EAP Celebrated its 4th Annual Hot Dog Day on Wednesday, July 18th on Second Avenue between Elizabeth Avenue and South Street. More than 2000 "dollar dogs" were sold on site and everyone had a great time. We received some great press on the event as seen below. News-12 NJ featured it as their "Viewer of the Day" Segment while Tap Into Elizabeth and the Union County Local Source did nice features on the event. Latin Newspapers, La Voz and Vista Hispano also covered the event.
We plan on expanding this event even more next year, so if you are a business on Elizabeth Avenue and would like to provide giveaways to promote your business or set up a booth, please email Dave Strochak directly or call the EAP office at 908-965-0660 ext. 13.
Many thanks go out to the City of Elizabeth and Mayor Chris Bollwage, the Department of Recreation and the Department of Public Works for their continued support of this and other EAP events! Click the links below to read more about the day.
