Patchogue's summer event season is here! Join us on Thursdays from 5-9pm for the 12th Annual Alive After Five® summer festival and concert series! With 6 stages of music and entertainment, crafts and fun for the kids, a variety of food, craft and information vendors there is something here for everyone. A list of all Chamber and other summer events in the Greater Patchogue area can be found on our website, Patchogue.com.
Many of our Chamber's committees are beginning to meet and prepare for the fall season, if you are interested in joining one or more of the Chamber's exciting committees you can find a list in this newsletter and are encouraged to call the Chamber office to sign up or get more information. Not sure what committee would be best for you? David Kennedy and I would be happy to help you volunteer your time for a committee that best suits your needs. You can email me at jacqueline@wmjoneills.com or David at info@patchogue.com.
Mark your calendar for July 31 at Sunset Harbour's Tiki Lounge from 6-8pm for a Networking event on the beautiful Great South Bay! Enjoy hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar while mingling with fellow chamber members. The Networking Committee is hard at work arranging for the next several Networking and General Meeting events. More information on these happenings will be coming soon.
Stay cool!
