Our Montville

Montville's Margaret Lam featured in Star Ledger!

Importer's success lets her help others - Success isn't just about making money, says Margaret Lam, it's also about giving back to your community.

Lam owns Irvington-based Prosperity Resources International, an importer of dried foods from Asia to the United States and a wholesaler of goods to Chinese supermarkets on the East Coast. The recipient of many community and government awards, she is an inspiration to the Chinese-American community. 

Born in Hong Kong, Lam lives in Montville and has been a New Jersey resident for 43 years. For more than 38 years, she has dedicated her time and service to several organizations, including the New Jersey Chinese Festival, the Girls Scouts and the Livingston Symphony Orchestra.  See Star Ledger.

June 3 - Lexi Ponzio benefit dinner

A little girl at Tiny Treasures has been recently diagnosed with Wilms' Tumor … kidney cancer.  A mom  from Tiny Treasures, along with the owners (whom I cannot say enough about … they have gone above and beyond for Little Jack … Charlotte and I as well), are arranging a benefit in her honor of June 3rd.  I am trying to help Robyn out as much as I can … from a business aspect (forming and running a non-profit, etc.) … using the experience I gained from the Found NEMO Foundation (Little Jack is always at work).

Not sure if anyone is interested but thought I would pass along a flyer for dinner on the 3rd  … sounds like a evening of great food, prizes, etc. and the best part is it helping Lexi!   

If anyone needs a gift, Suppa’s is donating 25% of all sales from $50 Gift Certificates to Lexi (see attached)!
