Kings Park Day 2010

Kings Park Celebrated "Kings Park Day 2010" on 6/20/2010. A wonderful afternoon, great weather and old friends made this year's festival even more memorable than ever. Pictured above, George McKnight distributes old glory to all passers by. In addition to his patriotic duties, George used his office as an impromptu cool off satiation for festival guests, a welcomed rest for more that a few.

The entire Town of Kings Park came out for this traditional American Festival and our most sincere thanks to the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce, Charlie Gardner, Dee Grasso and the entire Kings Park Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors who made this day possible.

Ciro's Restaurant Grand Opening!

Ciro’s 107 Italian Restaurant in Kings Park has moved to a larger location at 74 Main Street in Kings Park formally occupied by “Patty Joe’s. “This is a wonderful location and has much more room than our previous restaurant” explains co-owner Robert Mejia. ”We dropped the 107 from our name because that was the physical address of the old location. Other than that, we have the same great food and the same great service”.

 Smithtown Town Council Member Ed Wehrheim  explained  “This is another step forward for the revitalization of the Kings Park Business District. The Town of Smithtown has been working closely with the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce in creating a pedestrian friendly Main Street. With the advent of Savatt Park, crosswalks, improved lighting and signage, business will take advantage of the improved business climate and invest in Kings Park.”

 “I look forward to attending these ribbon cutting ceremonies” explained Smithtown Clerk  Vincent Puleo. “There always is lots of talk out there, but this is action. We have a business here who is willing to invest their hard earned dollars to expand in Kings Park because  it is in their best interest to do so, that is what the private sector is all about. That is what is going help our economy rebound. I have to thank the owners Mat and Roberto for helping us to build an even better Kings Park.

Attending the ribbon cutting ceremony were several Smithtown officials including Supervisor Patrick Vecchio, Council Member Ed Wehrheim, Town Clerk Vincent Puleo, Receiver of Taxes Deanna Varricchio and Kings Park Chamber of Commerce President Charlie Gardner.

Kings Park Chamber of Commerce
January 2010 General Meeting

The Kings Park Chamber Of Commence January Organizational Luncheon was hosted on January 27th, 2010 at the newly renovated VFW Hall in Kings Park. This first meeting of the 2010 Calendar year was catered by Ciro's 107 Italian Restaurant insuring that plenty of great food and fun was had by all.

Kings Park Chamber of Commerce President Charles Gardner announced that the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce has adopted a revised mission statement for the organization which better reflects the community focus and dynamic nature of the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce.

Mission Statement:

“The Kings Park Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to the task of promoting its member businesses through a spirit of mutual cooperation.  We are focused on enhancing the Kings Park community as a whole, through the networking of our business community with local and statewide elected officials as well as community organizations.  We are committed to community re-investment and growth through education.”

Pictured Above, Honored Guest Smithtown Town Supervisor Patrick Vecchio administers the oath of office for the new slate of officers who are responsible for insuring the mission Kings Park Chamber of Commerce.

The Kings Park Chamber of Commerce would like to thank our sponsors:
McKnight Realtors, Kings Park Shipping and Business, Lateri Waste Management Systems and Butler Funeral Home.

Learn How To Say NO!

"Learn how to say no!" explained Smithtown Town Supervisor Patrick Vecchio during his keynote address to the members of the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Vecchio, fresh off his overwhelming re-election victory spoke about how special interest groups are just that, special interest groups who advocate for a specific narrowly focused issue. The role of a chief executive is to consider the long and short term objectives of the entire organization. "We need to keep spending under control."

Mr. Vecchio, speaking before a near capacity audience continued on to give several examples on how many other towns on Long Island have layers and layers of assistants and deputies. "Smithtown is in good financial condition because Smithtown's Government does not engage in this type of patronage." 

The message was clear from the longest serving town supervisor in the nation who explained that he is indeed speaking from experience. "This is one lesson our leaders in Washington can learn, government can't be everything to everybody, it's unsustainable."

Supervisor Vecchio recalled with a sense of pride a statement made by current New York State Assembly Member Mike Fitzpatrick when reflecting on Mike's twelve year tenure as a Smithtown Town Council Member, "Mike said that one of the most valuable lessons he learned as member of the Smithtown Town Council was how to say no."

The Kings Park Chamber Of Commerce will not be meeting in February in preparation of the of the Annual Kings Park Chamber of Commerce Person Of The Year Dinner which will be held on Friday, March 5th 2010 at the Hyatt Regency in Hauppauge.
