The Chapter’s NKBA 60th Anniversary event was a fun-filled, celebratory night… despite the rain.

You have to hand it to Mid Atlantic Chapter president Brianna Weiler of Baths & Kitchens by Charles Weiler, who took the disruption of the Chapter’s NKBA 60th Anniversary event in stride – even after months of planning. Did it rain, yes. Did that cancel the planned scavenger hunt? Yes. Did it dampen her – or indeed any of the Chapter members’ – celebratory spirit? Absolutely not.

The party went on as planned in a gazebo of the restaurant, Rat’s, attached to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, N.J., where the event took place.  That is, thanks to the efforts of Brianna and the Mid Atlantic Chapter Officers: Programs Chair Michael Kaestner, CLIPP, Kaestner Designs; Communications Chair Kristal Fascella, Bucks County Cabinetry & Design; Membership Chair Leions George, Spectrum Quartz; and Secretary/Treasurer James Fox, Fox Woodworking LLC. 

“You all have bragging rights for being Members of the founding Chapter of the National Kitchen & Bath Association.”
—Brianna Weiler, Mid Atlantic Chapter President

“I’d like to kick off this Celebration by raising a toast to how far the Mid Atlantic Chapter has come in 60 years, but more importantly, where we will go, the things we will do and the lives we will change in the next 60 years. Cheers!,” said Brianna Weiler, whose father Charles – a former Mid Atlantic Chapter President – was in attendance to celebrate with his daughter, wife and granddaughter, an NKBA member in the making! 

More than 50 members came to the Mid Atlantic event to reminisce and celebrate not only NKBA’s 60th Anniversary, but the Mid Atlantic Chapter’s as well. 

“60 Years of NKBA means 60 Years of the Mid Atlantic Chapter,” said Brianna Weiler. “That’s right! You all have bragging rights for being Members of the founding Chapter of the National Kitchen & Bath Association.” 

The Mid Atlantic Chapter was one of six Chapters around the country who entered and won a contest to host an NKBA 60th Anniversary event. NKBA has 70 local chapters in North America.
