Farmingdale Chamber’s Easter Egg Hunt and Visit with the Easter Bunny will be held at the

Farmingdale Community Summit’s 15th Annual Expo and Health Fair this year. The Expo is

March 29 from 6 - 8:30 PM at Farmingdale High School. The Summit’s Expo and Health

Fair is a great way to get your business or organization exposure in the community. Visit

www.FarmingdaleSummit.org to learn how you can participate.

Let me start by thanking our members. Our membership has grown as well as partici-pation in events, committees and activities. Without you we would not be the success we are.

As usual, we have a lot of events lined up to help you network and meet people of the Farmingdale Community. We have changed up the Easter Egg Hunt and bunny pictures. This is being held at the Annual Summit at Farmingdale High School on March 29th. The Farmingdale Chamber is also happy to announce our annual Come-dy Night Fundraiser will once again be held at the VFW 516 on March 23. Tickets are on sale and we sell out FAST!! Be sure and come check out this event!! We will be sponsoring the Farmingdale Village St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 26 at 1pm. Please join us and march down Main Street with the Chamber!

Please be sure to take notice of the sponsorships for Comedy Night. Members have been extremely generous. I would love to see people consider using them: 24/7 All Air Cond & Heating For You Corp, Adventureland's Helping Hands Foundation, Bragoli Law, D'Addario, European Wax Center, Fair and Square Contracting, Farm-ingdale Baseball League, Firefighters Charitable Foundation, Humana, In Full Bloom, Joseph Minieri, Joseph Tafuro, KFA, Library Café, Lithology Brewing, Medwellspa & Yoga Center, Merry Maids, Mignone's Masonry, Phoenix Eastern Medicine Center, Pole Position Raceway, Priestley Chiropractic, ServPro of Farmingdale Massapequa, That Meetball Place, Verona Restaurant, Xpress Body Boot Camp and Kim Poulos Lieberz of KGI Design Group (Kim sponsored and donated the design and creating of all our Comedy Night advertising material!)

Ribbon cuttings-this is a new Chamber buzz word. We would love our members to

attend and welcome new businesses to the community! All are welcome-events are always easy to find listed on the events tab on our new easy to use website. This is a great way to help new business owners to our community see the camaraderie our members share.

I would like to point out, you can pre-register and pre-pay for events online. I find this very easy and also helps keep you from waiting on line when you get to an event, with the exception of comedy night where you need to check in at the desk.

My focus this year is to help bring the community members and chamber members together. If you have any suggestions, please shoot me an email on how to help close the gap, keep our community in our neighborhood using our businesses.

HAPPY SPRING!

A Word from the President - Beth Mignone

Member Meetings Recap

We’ve had terrific attendance at our first two meetings of the year!

Farmingdale Village Trustee Dr. Walter Priestley (Priestley Chiropractic) pre-sented "The State of Farmingdale Village", outlining the progress of the revitali-zation of downtown Farmingdale at the chamber's January meeting. Many thanks to Caracara Mexican Grill for hosting the meeting. The food was out-standing and the service was impeccable - as always!

Joseph Garcia (Weichert Realty Performance Homes) shared this interesting information at our February meeting: “Farmingdale is seeing a town-wide sellers market. Currently we have a 2.85 month housing supply. This is well below the 6 month supply we expect in a normal market. Our Average Sales price for Farm-ingdale is $423,722. On the Multiple Listing Service , 280 1-4 Family homes closed in last 12 months representing $186,301,115 in sales. Between 41-64% of these closings are first time home buyers. Many Farmingdale Residents have an equity position in their home equal to, or in excess of, pre-housing crisis levels. On the Multiple listing service there were 88 residential rentals in the last 12 months, at an average rent of $1,610 made up of mainly 1 bedroom apartments, with

studios and 2 bedrooms also represented.

The Farmingdale market data is consistent with other hamlets in our area. Driving the market is an expectation of increasing mortgage interest rates, as well as rising incomes, and consumer sentiment.”

Many thanks to That Meetball Place for hosting the chamber's February meeting! The food was delicious and service was the best!
