Guest Speaker
Sergio Esposito, Vice-President of the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce, spoke to us about the Chamber, whose mission is to promote development and growth of the town’s businesses through networking, mentoring, and events such as the Annual Festival & Street Fair (October 9th), and many other activities. Please log onto their website for more information, www.yorktownchamber.org.
The Chamber is supportive of charitable organizations such as Support Connection. Sergio is personally deeply involved in raising money to send a local child to Camp Sunshine, which is dedicated to children with life threatening diseases. This year a baseball fundraiser is being planned. For more information on that please contact Sergio at 914- 433-0575 or Sergio@comprehensivecomputers.com. Thank you Sergio for joining us today.
