New Chamber Office Administrator Jill Meotti (L), Chamber President Robin Hepworth (C) and Chamber Treasurer Karen Gawrych welcome Chamber members to the Lunceon Mike Polansky/Herald
About 50 members of the Massapequa Chamber of Commerce gathered at the Corner Gallery restaurant on Jan. 29 for the Chamber’s Networking Luncheon.
Chamber President Robin Hepworth introduced Jill Meotti, the new Chamber office administrator, who started earlier this month. Meotti will work from the Chamber’s new office at 511 Ocean Avenue.
Hepworth highlighted recent Chamber events, including the Christmas Tree and Menorah Lighting Ceremony at Klestinec Park, the annual Holiday Party, and a successful Toys for Tots drive led by Chamber President-Treasurer Karen Gawrych.
Members were encouraged to participate in the Chamber’s second annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade down Broadway in Massapequa on March 14. “Last year’s parade was big, but this one is going to be even bigger!” Hepworth said. Embassy Diner is the lead sponsor for this year’s parade.
The Chamber’s scholarship program was also discussed. The program awards one $500 annual scholarship and five $1,000 scholarships, including one reserved for children or grandchildren of Chamber members.
