LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Hello Partners,

Summer is here with all of its glory, hot, hot, hot! The Chamber started off sponsoring a new event (finally) with ‘Sounds on the Sound’ featuring the Broadway hit band, Billy Joel’s Movin Out Band!
The concert was on the ferry and the 3 hour cruise went out into the Sound from 7-10pm. The evening could not have been prettier with a beautiful sunset and more spectacular a ‘strawberry’ moon!  

We moved right into the celebration of our country-July 4th parade sponsored by our PJFD! We had a great showing of Chamber partners with walking banners, antique cars, Batmobile and always our incredible marching brass band. Weather was perfect and the crowds were plentiful!

The Chamber continues to support our members with their ribbon cuttings and attending their events.
Attending the ‘International Day of Yoga’ sponsored by the Meadow Club, the Makers Faire sponsored by the Explorium, Tri-Chamber Networking Event, Town of Brookhaven Clean-up Day, and ‘Port Paws’ dog festival! 

We have move forward with the 2 PSEG grants and expect the delivery of a new outdoor bench for the installation in front of the Chamber. The new landscape will start as soon as the heat breaks. Along with the new bench, the Village will be painting our building and with the new landscape the Chamber will look GREAT! 

Looking forward in moving ahead with a new exterior mural project at 325 Main Street. A collaborative effort with PJ BID and the Village, to reflect a welcoming theme. We also have our new member summer soirée August 10th at the Chamber office and our Bi-Chamber Networking Event with Patchogue August 18th. So things to look forward to! We are ALL busy, but try and get out there to enjoy what the summer has to offer: outdoor movies, concerts, and don’t forget our wonderful beaches!

Be well and safe,
Mary Joy Pipe, President – Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce
Owner of The East End Shirt Company * Proud Member of our Chamber since 1979
