Taste of the Region

The Taste of the Region event is a food, beverage and service expo where attendees can sample delicious tastings from local restaurants, wineries, breweries and more.  Raffles are sold throughout the evening and one hundred percent of the proceeds goes to a chosen community partner.  It’s always a huge success, and in 2019 the MRCC was able to donate $1530.00 to Table to Table.  In addition, at the end of the evening all left over food is packaged up and goes to Table to Table also.

WIBI (Women in Business Initiative)
​Community Partner:  Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey
WIBI wanted to find a community partner that they could share their time and talent with, and they are thrilled to be partnering with the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey for 2020!  The first venture is going to be a speed networking session where these fabulous young ladies (8th to 12th graders) will have an opportunity to exchange business cards and ask questions of each WIBI member about their career - the challenges, lessons learned - and their mentors.
