UPDATE:
Jersey Shore Premiere Events hosted a red carpet business networking event at Molly Maguire’s Black Point Inn in Rumson June 6. Part of the proceeds went to the Lieutenant Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund, a local charity that provides scholarships and support to soldiers returning home. From 6 to 9 p.m. 100-150 local business owners were invited to come down and rub elbows with each other for a $10 fee which included a buffet dinner.

“We’re trying to get everybody to start networking and make new connections,” said Rosa Davis, who co-founded JSPE with Chris Fotache. Those in attendance also had the opportunity to promote their businesses via a red carpet interview with NJPE’s host, Melissa Maria. Vendors included Real Housewives Jewelry, Jersey Shore Vacations, Driven By Excellence, Precision Tech Electric, Inc., Comfort Inn Middletown/Red Bank, Alpine Medical Supply, and more.
