The Chamber of Commerce of the Mastics & Shirley flipped the switch on the holiday season at their annual Community Tree Lighting. A beautiful tree on the corner of Commack and Mastic roads will illuminate the Yuletide as the community gets into the giving spirit. 

Chamber President Frank Montanez of FMJ Productions was on hand, making sure everything was perfect for the visit from Santa. The tree serves as a bright welcome to the community, where everyone is encouraged to shop local to support the area’s small businesses. 

Notables at the annual ceremony include Assemblyman Joe DeStefano and his Chief of Staff, Alice Painter, Legislator Jim Mazzarella, Karen Dunne-Kesnig, the Brookhaven Town Board member representing the area, and staff from Senator Dean Murray’s office. 

Other chamber officials include Vice President Joseph H. Johnson, Esq., Secretary Kim Swicicki of Caitlyn’s Vision, Treasurer Mallory Lescenski of Dime Community Bank, and the Loan Depot’s Paul Quinn, Sergeant at Arms. Thanks go out to Ultimate Mower Repair and Tool for helping host the popular event.
