NO to North Jersey Casinos


Dear Cape May County Chamber,


Thank you for joining the No North Jersey Casinos Coalition.  While summer represents vacations and relaxing times at the Jersey Shore for most, we are continuing our efforts to defeat the November 8 ballot question that will allow for up to two casinos to be constructed in North Jersey. 
 
We are asking your help as a partner to kindly share our message with your members to engage them in the fight against North Jersey casinos. Just type your message above the No North Jersey Casinos logo to personalize it to your members and encourage them to join the Coalition. They only need to click on the link to join! 
 
Word of mouth is a powerful tool that will enable us to defeat the ballot question on November 8.  Thank you for your help and support!




Debra P. DiLorenzo
Chairwoman, No North Jersey Casinos Coalition
President & CEO, Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey
