Dear Members of the Bayside Business Association,
I hope this letter finds you all in good health and high spirits as we approach the end of another eventful summer. As we reminisce on the past year, it’s incredible to see how far we have come as an organization. This time last year, we were in the midst of rebranding and rebuilding the BBA, and now, we stand together as a thriving community with a bright future ahead.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been the addition of several new members to our association. These business leaders have become integral to every aspect of our community, offering Baysiders quality services, goods, and unwavering support. Your commitment and dedication have undoubtedly contributed to the growth and prosperity of our association.
Throughout this summer, we’ve had some incredible events that brought us all together, fostering valuable connections among our members. The night we spent at Citi Field, networking and cheering on the game, was a resounding success, especially since our team emerged victorious!
Such experiences strengthen the bonds within our community and demonstrate the power of
collective support.
As we look ahead, an action-packed fall awaits us with a lineup of exciting events, including our annual golf outing, another networking night, Small Business Saturday, and our annual holiday kick-off event. These occasions present ample opportunities for our members to engage with each other, our community, and prospective clients. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact and grow both personally and professionally.
I’d like to take a moment to inform you that there will be a slight change to our schedule. We will not be hosting our membership meeting in August, but rest assured, we have a fantastic in-person cocktail event planned for September. This event will provide an excellent platform for networking, sharing ideas, and celebrating our collective achievements.
Now, here’s our earnest request: Get involved! Active participation in our association has immeasurable benefits for your business. By cultivating relationships, getting your name out in the community, and engaging in meaningful interactions with fellow members and potential clients, you strengthen your presence in Bayside’s business landscape.
To encourage early engagement and commitment to attending our events, we will be offering fantastic early bird savings exclusively for our members. Keep an eye out for our announcements, so you don’t miss out on these fantastic opportunities.
As summer comes to a close, I wish each one of you a restful and happy end to this season. Let’s embrace the year-end with enthusiasm, camaraderie, and a shared vision for a prosperous future. Together, we can achieve remarkable things.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your input is invaluable to us as we continue to shape the Bayside Business Association into an even more vibrant and supportive community.
Thank you all for being part of this remarkable journey with us. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
Warm regards,
Alison La Ferlita Executive Director, Bayside Business Association
