Spring is here, and The Massapequa Chamber has been very busy getting ready for some
major events. We are constantly looking for ways to help our local businesses and community
out, and we have some new programs we wanted to share with everyone.

April 18th will be our first Taste of Massapequa event. Massapequa Restaurants and members
will be at Wren Kitchens in Massapequa for a fun night for our community to come out and
sample food from these great establishments. We have a variety of restaurants signed up
and will have great raffle baskets for people to have a chance at winning, while supporting our
scholarship and community support programs.

June will bring our annual Street Fair, and this year we are bringing back rides for the kids in
addition to the petting zoo and pony rides. The community asked for more activities for the
little ones, so we will have a company providing slides and bounce houses, which are always
a hit.

had 11 new members join the chamber in January and February including a few out of
