A very special thank you to
Arshia Arvandi, Aidan Endo, Isaac Endo,
Luke Endo and Erik Endo for the efforts and
creativity that went into making our centerpieces
for the auction event this year.
Each origami piece was individually folded
and carefully strung or placed.
Each unique centerpiece will be available
for bidding at the auction event.
Serving Long Branch Families since 1997
“Ron delivered everything he promised. He helped me sort out my options
and to choose the ones that were best for me. My house sold for more than
the asking price because he knew the market and the behavior of the local
builders and buyers--definitely a Lyon Park/Arlington expert!”
