Welcome to the Merry, Merry Month of May from your Melville Chamber of Commerce. I want to wish everyone and their families a Happy Mother's Day and Memorial Day Weekend Summer Kick-off.  

The warm weather is coming, The Melville Chamber of Commerce has many new things to offer all our members which will be announced in the coming months. We have our May events planned with our various groups. As many of you already know we regularly have events with the WOMEN's Group, the Young Professional Group, the Business Resource Roundtable, and other After Hours and Breakfast Events at various member's venues. These events are a great opportunity for members to meet and develop business relationships and share resources.  

The scheduled events for May as of this newsletter release are   The Business Resources Round Table at Panera Bread hosted by RCM Technology May 7th, the W.O.M.E.N's Speed Networking Program May 16 ^th  at United Cerebral Palsy of Long Island and the Member's Only After Hours Event at Canon U.S.A. for the finale on May 23rd. 

Please reach out to your fellow Chamber Members, especially our retailers for Mother's Day, to keep business   local. This will allow the Melville Community and surrounding region to thrive and be competitive. I would like to thank my fellow Board Members for their dedicated service and hard work.  

It is an honor and privilege for me to be serving on your Board of Directors. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me or any of our Board Members, Committee Members and Ambassadors.
