"We are delighted to carry on the tradition of Norma's holiday jewelry show at bergenPAC," said Dominic Roncace, CEO of the Bergen Performing Arts Center "This show is a great way to support the arts in Bergen County, and enable young people to participate in arts education through our scholarship program."
