Fun-in-the-sun outings head NCA’s
summer schedule
A golf tournament and a day at the
baseball park are two of the more fun-filled events planned
this summer by the Neighbor-hood Cleaners Association, which
also plans to host several educational programs in the coming
months as well.
NCA’s New York City/Long Island
Chapter will present its 4th Annual Night at Shea Stadium on
Friday, Aug. 2 when the New York Mets host the defending
champions, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Seating for the event is limited, so
calling Joe Hallak at (201) 343-7333 or Ed Roth at (718)
969-0207 as soon as possible for tickets is recommended.
Later in the month, NCA has planned its
first-ever golf tournament to benefit CLEANPAC, the
association’s Political Action Fund.
The tournament will take place on
Wednesday, Aug. 21 at 9 a.m. at the Bethpage State Park Blue
Course in Bethpage Long Island, the same course that will host
the U.S. Open in June.
Currently, NCA is giving Allied
Tradespeople a chance to sponsor a hole for $500 or donate a
