Have you recently celebrated a milestone achievement? Has your business expanded? Are you a new chamber member? Celebrate with a Middlesex Chamber Ribbon Cutting Celebration!

We will provide our “Big Blue Scissors”, ribbon and camera to get that signature ribbon cutting shot, which will be shared on our social media, website and weekly email blast which goes out to over 4,000 emails. The chamber’s President and Member Relations Director, as well as local town officials, division chair(s), Chamber Chairperson, and other relevant distinguished guests are invited to attend. Ribbon cuttings take place during normal business hours.

A busy February is winding down this week, and the chamber calendar is still rocking with division and committee meetings.
