FP Chamber of Commerce Donates to Floral Park Conservation Society
 
In support of our village and the continuing development of the beautiful Centennial Gardens, The Floral Park Chamber of Commerce made a $500 donation to the Floral Park Conservation Society.  At our February meeting we met with the Society President and former Mayor of the Village, Steven Corbett. and presented him with a check.  Steve told the audience about the many efforts the Society has made in the past few months.  Unfortunately, the park lost a significant volume of trees due to hurricane Sandy and we hope the donation will help in restoring the loss.  The Chamber members appreciate Steve's work and his continued dedication to our village.  Contributions to the Conservation Society can be sent to 140 Verbena Ave in Floral Park.
 
FP Chamber of Commerce Contributes to the Leadership Foundation of FP-Bellerose
 
Chamber President Terry Whalen presented to Dr Lynn Pomponyo, the Vice President of the Leadership Foundation of Floral Park-Bellerose, a check for $500.  The Chamber is pleased to play a small part in helping this wonderful Not-for-Profit organization.  The Leadership Foundation provides an avenue by which young people can explore their leadership potential through actual experiences.  They fund programs and events that foster learning through research projects, community outreach, business partnerships, mentoring programs and public education.  Students of FP-Bellerose are encouraged to apply for grants to support their efforts in these types of leadership projects.
