The Moriches Chamber of Commerce installed their board of directors during their annual holiday party last month, including president Jackie Osborne, vice president Lisa Goulding, treasurer Gerry Sapanaro, recording secretary Amy Mahken, and corresponding secretary Anne Montanez. Also sworn in were the directors Miriam Gillies, Jenny Susskraut, Paul Quinn, Roe Gencarelli, Joe Bonnano, Florence Fournaris, Judy Eberhard, Jen Gagliano, Katie Goulding.
They were sworn in by Suffolk County supervisor Ed Romaine, Legis. Jim Mazzarella, and past president Art Gerhauser.
Highlights from the last year also included a new website, the spring fall and winter festivals, as well as the summer concert series, thanks to the support of Mazzarella and the Center Moriches Library. The chamber also once again hosted their St. Patrick’s Day and Veterans Day parades as well as their annual tree and menorah lighting.
“Thank you to Greg Delong who built and maintains the menorah and to Steve Dreukfor for supplying and decorating our beautiful tree,” Osborne said.
The chamber also had another successful year of their student scholarship and their holiday baskets programs as well as their downtown beautification projects.
In 2023, the chamber also recognized businesses with 25 years or more in service, including Robertaccio Funeral Home, 130 years; The Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist, 125 years; Hampton Gymnastics, 30; Manor Consulting Group, 30 years; East End Sign Design, 25 years; St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 125 years; and Plum Cottage, 25 years.
In February, the chamber will be running a lottery raffle. Lottery tickets are $5 and can be purchased up to 29 times. The winning number will be determined by the New York State Daily Lottery evening number for the month of February 2024. If your ticket number is drawn on Monday through Saturday, the prize is $50 and Sunday is $100.
