Meetings & Events

'The most powerful process any company can adopt to improve productivity and competitiveness is the transfer of best practice'

Through our regular meetings and events, held locally and featuring guest speakers with a wide range of information relevant to all,  the Chamber encourages the sharing of knowledge between businesses of all kinds and between the members of our community.

These events are informal, with one of the main objectives to encourage questions and dialogue with the speakers. This will assist  to understand the implications for a small business as well as to the community we live in.

::December 2005

  Now that the holidays are approaching, the Chamber would like you to take some time out from your busy Christmas shopping and come to our Christmas party and general dinner meeting on Monday, December 12, 2005 at 6:30 pm at Ladakins Restaurant.

  You are encouraged to invite employees and prospective members to our Christmas party. Tickets are $20 per person, which includes buffet and music by D.J. Bill Willets. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling Tony Liberti at (631) 281-5500.

The following businesses are being proposed for new membership

  The Christmas parade date of Dec. 4th was postponed, due to weather, to Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 12:00 noon. The starting area for the parade is the South Port Shopping Center.

  Due to an error, the wrong slate was presented for elections at the general meeting in November. The nominating committee will present the corrected slate (including nominees off the floor from the November general meeting) at the December 12th meeting. See new slate below;
