Massapequa Chamber of Commerce

President’s Message – December 2023 Edition

The Massapequa Chamber of Commerce has been very busy these past few months, with our successful and well-attended Christmas Tree and Menorah Lighting Ceremony and Holiday Fair this month, along with the success of our annual Food and Toys for Tots collection drives, and the proud re-launch of Operation Safe Spot this past November.

Safe Spot is a way for our local businesses to let the community know that we are here to help when they are in need. The Massapequa Chamber of Commerce, with support from the Town of Oyster Bay and the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, is proud to re-launch the Safe Spot Campaign. With the help of Drug Free Long Island, we will provide training to businesses to aid residents in emergency situations and also connect them to lifesaving resources.

All businesses will receive a Safe Spot sign indicating that they are go-to spots for residents seeking assistance in emergency situations. Each sign also displays a QR code linked to contact information for the Nassau County Police Department 7th Precinct and the Nassau County Crime Stoppers anonymous text line. The participating businesses will also receive a First Aid and Narcan kit with complimentary Narcan training courtesy of Drug Free Long Island.

For November and December, we had 12 new members join the Chamber:

Our goal as a Chamber is to help our members promote themselves through networking and social media, especially by helping members establish an online presence, and providing them with vendor opportunities at community events like our Street Festival in June and the Holiday Fair in December.  We are also looking for people who want to get on our committees to help us achieve our mission.

Please enjoy the Holidays with your friends and family, and we look forward to seeing you in 2024!
