Among some of the notable people attending the event are State Sen. Loretta Weinberg, State Assemblyman Gordon Johnson, Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, Englewood Cliffs Mayor Joe Parisi and Palisades Park Mayor James Rotundo.

This year’s dinner and dance, which takes place at the DoubleTree Hotel in Fort Lee, includes an extensive cocktail reception, a full course dinner, champagne toast, live music and, of course, dancing with friends.

Sponsors include Bank of New Jersey and Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange.

This year’s FLRCC “Persons of the Year” honorees are Michael A. Pollotta and Craig Weinstein.

Weinstein is being honored for his “civic activities and service to the Chamber,” while Pollotta is being recognized for “lifelong contributions to various civic and charitable organizations as well as his extensive work in local and state politics,” according to Chamber officials.

“The FLRCC Dinner/Dance Committee has done an incredible job putting this event together with the challenges due to Hurricane Sandy,” said Weinstein, a member of the Chamber’s Executive Committee. “The committee is determined to make this year’s gala the best ever as we celebrate Fort Lee and its surrounding business communities.”
