Our highly anticipated 3rd Annual Golf
Outing is on Friday, July 16th at Gambler Ridge Golf Course, 121 Burlington Path Road, Cream Ridge. We have room for more golfers, and non-golfers too. You don't have to be an experienced golfer to enjoy a day of networking, and/or golf, a prime rib dinner and fun. We offer an open bar, raffles, and
silent auction. See you there!

The Young Professional's Network hosted a FUN & EXCITING free, informal night of networking at On the Deck, 10 Simon Lake Drive, Atlantic Highlands. Stay tuned for our next gathering! For more information, contact Ken Scaggs of the Kerr Agency.
A reminder - The Shore Cafe is now the host of another weekly networking opportunity - The Lunch-n-Net! Every Tuesday at
12:00PM there is open networking for all NMCC members, local business owners,

Another great cruise on the Seastreak ferry from the Highlands was launched on June 24th. The weather was perfect, the scenery amazing, and of course, the networking was in full force! A delicious dinner was provided by Jacques Exclusive Catering. You can see all the photos from the event here.
