The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual installation of officers and directors at a dinner to be held at Ayhan’s Fish Kebab Restaurant on Oct. 1.
The swearing in ceremonies will be performed by State Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, Town Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio and Town Clerk Wayne Wink.
In addition, the chamber will present certificates of appreciation to the chairpeople of the HarborFest Model Boat Regatta: Arlene Kase, Mary Lu Dempsey Palafox, Bill Palafox and Marian Weissman. Bill Brakman will be honored for his contributions posthumously.
The chamber dinners are known for their enjoyable, casual atmosphere. The festivities are always light-hearted as Warren Schein, chamber co-president, is the emcee for the evening’s ceremonies. He always brings a little laughter and lots of pride in the chamber’s accomplishments to the occasion.
The chamber’s other co-president is Mitch Schwartz, whom many in town know for his vast knowledge of computers and the Internet, as well as his involvement in many worthy causes.
Officers for 2014–2015 are: First Vice President Debbie Greco Cohen, Second Vice President Anne Arter, Third Vice President Catherine O’Neill, Secretary Wendy Collett and Treasurer Leslie Ann Jacobi.
