If you were a Middlesex Chamber member, you would have enjoyed a terrific networking breakfast and discussion, thanks to the Rutgers Club in New Brunswick!

The breakfast was prepared exclusively for Middlesex County Regional Chamber of Commerce members and their guests at our monthly networking breakfast where we hear from featured speakers and then break out into smaller discussions.

The May 19 breakfast draws dozens of Central Jersey business professionals, spanning the region's sectors and industries. In just one year, MCRCC's Networking Breakfast has grown from a modest, effective discussion-based breakfast to an institution that is widely anticipated and deeply effective.

Program designed to instill 'love and appreciation' for dance

Princeton Ballet School, the official school of American Repertory Ballet, New Jersey's premier professional ballet company, has created a new summer camp program for children interested in learning dance.

The camp is being offered the weeks of July 10 and 17, 2017, in downtown New Brunswick. Dancers will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of classes, including Ballet, Contemporary, Hip-Hop, Zumba and more! Classes will be taught by the professional staff of the New Brunswick studio. Before care and after care is also being offered to help busy parents.

"Our hope for the students who attend our New Brunswick Summer Dance Camp is to take home with them a love and appreciation for all that is dance," says Kathleen Smith, DANCE POWER Coordinator. "To build lasting friendships with one another and make this an experience and opportunity that they will endure forever."
