YPG - BUSINESS BY THE BEACH RECAP

A good business mixer has food and drink, but this year’s Business by the Beach, hosted by the SI Chamber’s Young Professionals Group, took it over the top with a dessert tower, giveaways, an Italian ice cart, music, games, a selfie booth, and fun raffle prizes.

The Young Professionals Group (YPG), part of the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, hosted the annual event last Thursday, July 27 at the Vanderbilt at South Beach. The event featured lively music from Partners in Sound; a dessert tower overflowing with cookies and brownies at Mark’s Bake Shoppe’s sponsor table; refreshing Luigi’s Italian Ices; and a selfie booth sponsored by Rab’s Country Lanes. The YPG invited Chamber Chairman Glen V. Cutrona, A.I.A. of Cutrona Architecture PLLC to play his guitar while more than 100 guests sang Happy Birthday to Gerald Amerosi Sr. of Gerald Peters Inc.

MEMBER BUSINESS TIP

By Reliable Office Solutions

Tips for setting up an efficient business office

An organized, updated office helps a business run efficiently and increases productivity, whether it’s a large healthcare facility or a small auto body shop. That includes much more than notepads, pens, staplers and tape.

According to Billy Hanson at Reliable Office Solutions, based in Staten Island, the modern office typically requires:

Computer/s with internet/email access, and related software to organize office data
Devices to photocopy, print, fax and scan
A postage system
A telephone system
Functional office furniture
