Winter Greetings,
Given how uneventful weather wise January was, many of us are hoping our old neighbor Holtsville Hal will wake to a cloudy day on February 2nd proclaiming spring is just around the corner.
President’s Letter – January 2020
Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2020 not only a new year…it is also a new decade. A time to reset and refocus on all that lies ahead both in life and in business.
President’s Letter – December 2019
Season’s Greetings,
Well here we’re once again, the most busiest time of the year! Just like that the holidays are upon us and most everyone is hustling and bustling with gift shopping, making plans with family and friends and at the same time trying to stop and smell the Hollie.
President’s Letter – November 2019
Greetings of the Thankful Season,
Once again it’s so hard to believe the holiday season is already upon us. It feels like we were just down at the Holbrook Fair a few weeks ago when in fact it was over two and a half months ago.
As November ushers in all of the hustle and bustle of planning, shopping and entertaining there are a few things we must all stop and give thanks for.
President’s Letter – October 2019
Greetings of the Fall Season,
Fall is truly one of the absolute most beautiful times of year in the State of NY. As the warm days turn into cool nights and the leaves turn a brilliant hue of orange and yellow before cascading down from the trees, it is truly a sight to behold.
October is the month where the fourth quarter for most businesses commences. It is a critical three month time period for many companies as it often determines whether they make money for the year or not. For retailers, the holiday sales season is a key contributor to their annual bottom-line. As retail goes so do a lot of other related industries. For example, when people are out shopping they usually need a place to eat. For many other businesses its also crunch time to get projects done or on-board new clients before the holiday break and close of year.
President’s Letter – September 2019
Greetings,
As we wind down one of the nicest summer seasons we have seen on Long Island in years, it is now time to buckle down and get back to school for some and business for others. I was speaking with a good friend of mine the other day and we both could not believe how quickly this summer went by. Before we know it the beautiful changes will start occurring with the fall leaves and autumn season which for many is their favorite time of year weather-wise.
President’s Letter – August 2019
Greetings of the summer season,
Whew was last month a hot one or what? July saw some of the hottest temperatures in Long Island history. Hopefully this month will cool down to a little more reasonable daily temperature. With the Annual Chamber Carnival & Festival only a few weeks away, we’re hoping old Mother Nature is kind to us this year.
President’s Letter – June 2019
Greetings Once Again,
Well its almost summertime… aside from the taxes and traffic, it’s hard not to argue that Long Island is truly one of the best places on earth this time of year. Having been born on and a life-time resident of the Island, I feel blessed to have the opportunity every summer season to enjoy the beautiful beaches, parks, wineries and the fresh local produce of our east-end farms. Many of my best memories were spending summers at the shore or when I was a kid hanging out at the Brookhaven Pools in Holtsville.
President’s Letter – May 2019
Greetings Once Again,
Is it spring yet? Patiently we wait for the seasonably warmer weather that promises to reach us with the lovely month of May. As we gear up to celebrate Mother’s Day and host our annual Memorial Day parade in honor of our fallen heroes from the military, the sun and warmth shall be a welcome sight.
President’s Letter – April 2019
Greetings,
As spring slowly tries to sprung… it is with great hope that those April showers bring in some early May flowers. It feels as though the commencement of each new season is arriving later and later with each passing year. However, the warm outdoor friendly weather should be upon us in three shakes of a lamb’s tale.
