Bellmore chamber thanks all for Holiday merriment
A look back at the holiday festivities.
by Martha Verdi
The Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores wishes to thank the community for its generosity and support for the Marine Corp Toys for Tots Program. It has been the pleasure of the chamber to partner with the Marines for many years. Again we, as a chamber and a community, were successful in helping to make the holiday brighter for many children.
This year we were also supported by the local rock group TOXIN, who performed at the Bellmore Movie Theater on December 2, and encouraged their fans to bring Toys for Tots. They were able to fill six large Toys for Tots boxes with toys that they turned over to the chamber to donate. Bellmore Life secured U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Chris Peterkin of Wantagh for the performance.
A super thank you to Emilio Manzo for dropping off empty boxes, picking up full boxes and delivering all the toys to the Marine Corps facility in Garden City.
We are delighted to give a special thank you to our chamber members for opening their doors and providing collection sites for Toys for Tots collection boxes. The following chamber members provided collection sites. Please give them special thanks by patronizing their stores.
