The Member of the Year for the Chamber of Commerce of the Mastics and Shirley is Kim Swicicki, the president of Caitlyn’s Vision.
The chamber Secretary is behind many of the group’s activities, including its Business and Career Expo, Food Truck Rally and Car Show, Christmas Parade, and Casino Night, a fundraiser that supports local scholarships and other activities.
Kim’s daughter Caitlyn was diagnosed with a rare eye disease at an early age and she assists her on a mission to spread eye health awareness and provide eyeglasses and other help for those in need.
“Kim is one of our more active members and is truly deserving of Member of the Year recognition,” said Chamber President Frank Montenez. “She puts a lot of effort into making sure our events are a success.”
