PRLog (Press Release)– Mar 08, 2011– Farmingville, NY - March is defined as a steady forward movement or progression. Thus, it was only fitting that the Farmingville Hills Chamber of Commerce launched its inaugural meeting on March 2 at The Flaming Hearth. The Chamber, fueled by three volunteers, aims to spark new life for Farmingville and provide opportunities for such progression.
"Our Chamber will serve as the Puzzeltier of the community, bringing residents and businesses together through communication and promotion," states Michael Wentz, President of the Chamber. "We want to bolster business in the area, create loyal customers, and instill a sense of pride to live and work in Farmingville."
Business leaders, non-profit organizations, and residents gathered around the hearth to discuss their commitment to making a difference and putting the "unity" back into "community". Therefore, this chamber meeting served as an outlet for networking opportunities and a forum for communication.
"This is only the beginning," he said. "Farmingville has the 1st Annual Conquer the Hills 5K Run and Walk scheduled for Saturday, March 19 and some other exciting items on the agenda for the future."
Jennifer Ross, Vice President of the Chamber, and Marisa Pizza, Director of Membership, informed the attendees of past and future events to be held in the community. Farmingville will be launching a farmer's market in June, providing opportunities to buy local food, art, and music. After the success of the 2010 Summer Family Fun Series, the Farmingville Hills Park will be buzzing with children and their families again this year. Furthermore, Brookhaven's newly formed Anti-Graffiti Task Force has partnered with graffiti artists, youth volunteers, and local businesses to beautify properties with murals and other works of art in Farmingville.
These activities are designed to attract attention to the Farmingville area and, in turn, promote sponsoring businesses. A representative of Pauly's Pizza stood among the crowd and stated, "I want my son to keep his business here, but we need help to get the word out."
The success of this first gathering proved that businesses and residents want to keep moving forward. Consequently, Chamber meetings have been scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month.
