CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GREETING On behalf of the Island Park Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank you for all your support this past year. So far this year, the Chamber hosted a networking mixer at Pancho’s Cantina Restaurant as well as a Summer Kickoff Party at Pop’s Seafood Grill and a Calypso BBQ on our beautiful Masone Beach. The Mixer at Pancho’s Cantina was a great networking event coupled with excellent food and drinks. The Summer Kickoff Party at Pop’s Seafood Grill was a huge success with more than 150 paid attendees. All attendees took in a beautiful June evening while enjoying the beach-like atmosphere provided by one of Island Park’s most popular venues. Our Second Annual Calypso BBQ on Masone Beach, right here in the Village of Island Park, was even more successful than the first one, with more attendees who enjoyed live Calypso music with great food and drinks, on a beautiful night. This was the Island Park Chamber of Commerce’s tenth event in the past 18 months. The Chamber is making strides, and so too is the surrounding community and the Chamber’s members as a result. Also, earlier this year the Island Park Chamber of Commerce erected a “Shop Island Park� sign at the north entrance of the village. This sign was erected as part of the Island Park Chamber of Commerce’s ongoing campaign to showcase the businesses in Island Park and raise awareness in the community about patronizing your local restaurants, delis, shops and vendors.

In another move to aid the business owners in Island Park, the Chamber submitted a written proposal to the Island Park Village Board proposing an increase in the parking time limits on Long Beach Road from one to two hours. I am proud to report that the Island Park Village Board adopted this proposal and is changing the parking time limitations. On Oct. 25, 2012, the Chamber will be hosting its annual awards dinner at Bridgeview Yacht Club. The Chamber will be presenting awards for Business Person of the Year and Community Service Person of the Year. In addition, the Chamber will be honoring Henry “Mickey� Hastava and Harvey Gertler with Distinguished Service Awards. In parting, I would once again like to thank all of you for making this a very special year and I hope that when you are considering purchasing services or products, you consider the businesses located within our community before looking elsewhere. Thank you. For information regarding our upcoming events, becoming a member of the Island Park Chamber of Commerce or how you can advertise on the Chamber’s website, visit www. ipchamber.org.
