“We are excited to host our Networking Mixer for all military personnel living in Union County,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “One of the several ways we honor the sacrifices they have made is by creating programs and opportunities for them to foster connections, pursue education goals, find employment, and, most importantly, feel valued and supported by the community they so bravely served.”
The Networking Mixer offers a valuable opportunity for veterans and military personnel, to connect to resources and establish relationships within the community. The event will feature complimentary food and a cash bar.
Attendance at the mixer is free, but pre-registration is required. To register, please visit ucnj.org/veterans.
“I want to thank the Office of Veteran Services for their dedication in supporting the courageous men and women who have selflessly served this country. Their commitment to the well-being of our veterans and military personnel makes these events not only possible, but successful,” said Union County Commissioner Alexander Mirabella, Liaison to the Veteran Affairs Committee. “I invite all Union County veterans and military personnel to join us on October 16th. It will be a great opportunity to explore new possibilities and connect with fellow comrades in a relaxed and beautiful setting.”
