This amazing facility provides cultural opportunities for the entire community. Whether visiting for a performance, a meeting, a community gathering, or a visit to view art exhibits, every trip to Chuck Mathena Center is worthwhile. My most recent visit was to take part in a Princeton Rotary event named “Bras for a Cause.” This worthwhile project raises funds, along with providing underclothing for women who are domestic abuse victims and who need resources that the community can provide. The Chuck Mathena Center was beautifully decorated, there were great foods provided, and all in all, it was a wonderful evening.
