Chamber President's Letter
a message from the Valley stream Chamber president
Greetings! The Valley Stream Chamber of Commerce is an organization composed of local business people, community organizations and educational institutions. Our members have the opportunity to meet monthly to network, meet local leaders, and learn about local issues. We accept members at any time.
We are happy to have community involvement in many ways of which the public may not be aware.
We award scholarships to graduating high school seniors, and members participate in career days. We gift the winter holiday decorations that are on display around the village. Just recently, the chamber received a grant from PSEG which was used to spruce up the Gibson business area by purchasing new plants. The chamber is the co-sponsor of the Fourth of July fireworks with the village. It is the best show around. The chamber is also a major sponsor of the Community Fest since it originated. The summer’s Rockaway Avenue Car Show is sponsored by VSCC. We have also sponsored the Summer Concert Series.
Members of our group have recently been participating in Clean-Up Days — picking up garbage off major roadways. We also arrange ribbon cuttings to welcome new businesses, and we also march in the Memorial Day Parade. As president of Valley Stream Chamber of Commerce, I’d like to remind our community to shop local. Our businesses are the backbone of our community.
Valley Stream Chamber of Commerce Serving the Community for more than 55 years Please patronize our member businesses listed in this Guide and contact us for more information on the Chamber or our Member Businesses. Thank you.
