In Memory of Mrs. Marie-Louise Hallak

In Memory of Mrs. Marie-Louise Hallak

It is with deep sorrow that the Bergen Linen and Hallak Cleaners family shares with you the passing of our matriarch, Mrs. Marie-Louise (Dartley) Hallak.  She was a woman of great compassion and class – and always fashionable.

Throughout the years, some customers may recall reading Hallak Cleaners’ newsletter articles regarding Mrs. Hallak’s contributions to the dry-cleaning industry.  Over fifty years ago, she and her husband, Mr. Joseph Hallak, Sr. started what would become their legacy – Hallak Cleaners.  While fashion and technology inevitably changed, Mrs. Hallak remained a vibrant and intricate part of the Hallak team.  She served as the company’s CFO up until her retirement.  At one time, Louise (the name by which she went) served a term as the President of the International Dry Cleaners Congress.

With love in our heart, Mrs. Hallak’s spirit and memory will always remain. Along with pictures (and awards) throughout our facility, there is also a map which seems to reflect her life quite well – scattered with pushpins indicating her many pleasure and business trips over the span of decades. For us, those pushpins represent happy memories, achievements, old friends, new friends and family. While the Hallak family now has an inescapable void – we find comfort knowing that Louise lived a full, beautiful and meaningful life, surrounded always by family and dear friends – to the very end.

You are welcome to learn more about Mrs. Hallak and her service arrangements.   Over the next few days, Hallak and Bergen Linen will be staggering employees’ shifts to allow them the opportunity to pay their respects.  Both companies will remain open with normal hours – but please be patient with our reduced staff for the next couple of days.

May 2019 Birthday Celebrations

May 2019 Birthday Celebrations

Let’s celebrate the right way!

There is still time to celebrate that May 2019 Birthday – and future summer events!  Let’s start planning today.

With the warmer weather here, you may opt for an outdoor space. However, you should always have a back-up plan or some sort of outdoor structure.  Our area’s weather fluctuates so much that you never truly know what the day will hold.  Fortunately, there are plenty of options including tents with sides and ventilation  options as well. (Don’t forget about the floor. Rain-soaked grass is not a welcomed party ‘guest’.)

If you are planning a smaller gathering, you may consider firing up your grill. There are so many wonderful buffet and food station ideas that can be done all in the comfort of your own backyard. Looking for a little inspiration?

Planning something a bit larger? Catering is certainly a viable option!  You can still create a delicious buffet or create a more formal event with wait service.

Whether casual or more elegant, table linens are a great addition to any party. They can dress up a well-loved backyard table or buffet station. They can pull together an event’s color scheme.  Bergen Linen provides linen rentals such as tablecloths, napkins, overlays, runners, table skirts, chair covers, sashes and more!

Time to prepare for Mardi Gras 2019! Place your orders today!

Mardi Gras 2019 party preparations should begin now – or previously!  Next Tuesday, March 5th, the celebration will have begun.  If it feels late this year, it is just later than usual.  The holiday is always forty-seven days before Easter.

Green, purple and gold are typically considered THE Mardi Gras colors. While different historians (and websites) may have varying viewpoints, here are the common descriptions behind each hue:

  • Green represents faith
  • Purple represents justice
  • Gold represents power

Basic party must-haves:

  • Bold masquerade masks
  • Lots and lots of beads
  • Party purple, gold and/or green linens
  • Specialty cocktails with a nod to New Orleans

Whether a client is hosting a Mardi Gras celebration or you simply want to show some spirit, party linens are an easy way to bring the festivities to your guests.  Email orders@bergenlinen.com or give us a call today at (800) 789-8115.
