New Members

In the month of April, the Chamber and its members have much to celebrate starting with ... SPRING!

On Saturday, April 18, join two of our new members, Sachem Dental Group and Sachem Eye Care of Patchogue for their Ribbon Cutting festivities. The location of both businesses at 38 Oak Street in Patchogue Village, so come and check out their newly renovated facility and meet their friendly staff!

On Wednesday, April 22, celebrate Administrative Professionals Day and Earth Day at once by supporting the Annual Beautification Fundraiser at Harbor Crab aboard the Barefoot Princess. What better way to show your appreciation for the earth and your staff than by coming for lunch or dinner, or both, if you are so inclined. Proceeds from this event benefit the Greater Patchogue Foundation Beautification Committee and all of their efforts to keep Patchogue looking its best with annual plantings, benches, archways and other beautification projects. See below for a flyer with further details on the event.

This month's General Meeting is on Tuesday, April 28 and hosted by St. Joseph's College with special guest speaker Congressman Lee Zeldin. Join your fellow members at 8 a.m. for breakfast and news from Washington.

Every year, the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce honors one of its members for their outstanding contributions to the Chamber and the community. This year, we celebrate James Skidmore of the Brick House Brewery as the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce Member of the Year. Please come and show your support on Wednesday, April 29 at 6 p.m. at West Lake Inn in Patchogue at the annual Brookhaven Chambers of Commerce Coalition Dinner. This dinner is a great opportunity to meet your neighboring chamber members from Brookhaven Town and enjoy dinner and a few good laughs.
 

Sincerely,

Jacqueline Hensley

Ribbon Cutting: Blum's


Did you know that Blum's is one of the oldest businesses and Chamber members in Patchogue?

Blum's is not only a retail shop, it is a historical gem. It's weathered every economic storm, and just recently, it renovated its space to make it more appealing to shoppers. We hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony in March to commemorate the occasion. Learn more about their business on the Chamber blog.

Join us on Saturday, April 18 from 2-4 p.m. for two ribbon cutting ceremonies! We will be welcoming Sachem Dental Group and Sachem Eye Care to the Chamber. 
RSVP via phone at 631-207-1000 or 
 
Networking: Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts


In March, the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts generously opened their doors for the monthly networking and also provided our members with an insightful and historic behind-the-scenes tour.

Check "Talk of the Town" on Monday, April 20 when we feature the Theatre and showcase more images for our #MemberMonday series.

Join us on Wednesday, April 29 from 6-9 p.m. for the April networking event. This will be held at West Lake Inn as part of the Brookhaven Chambers of Commerce Coalition event. See below for a flyer with more details.
