the organization will begin a most
unusual and different type of Fall

organizations and type of
programs Lynbrook, U.S.A. has
to offer. All Board of Directors
members and regular Chamber

true that a "Chamber of Com-merce
is a vehicle to move the
business community forward."
Regular and Special Meetings
will be held and these will be
working meetings which will be
bound to benefit everyone in
business in this area.
The Annual Chamber of
Commerce Christmas Program
will be one of the most important
topics discussed at the General
Meeting held on Sept. 19th at
National Bank of North America.
Many residents do not know that
this annual program is one of the
best on the South Shore and put
on and financed by the Chamber
with the aid of the Village of
Lynbrook, the Fire and Pohce
Dept. on Thanksgiving Day when
Santa Claus comes in his
helicopter and the beautiful lights
go on on Thanksgiving eve. Mr.
Harry Garrison, President of the
Malverne Merchants Assoc. was
Guest Speaker at the Board of
Directors Meeting this week and
explained how successfully the
Malverne Merchants Newspaper
had worked for that community.
It was an inspiring meeting and
very well attended.

of National Bank of North
