From March to June, Wentz said no fees are due prior to attending the first couple of meetings, however to create incentive for people to join from March to June, they have lowered the annual dues to a reduced rate.

“Hopefully they will be willing and wanted to get involved,” he said.

The nearby Holbrook Chamber of Commerce and Ronkonkoma Chamber of Commerce have existed for a number of years and reflect the growth of business in their communities. 

"With the formation of the Farmingville Hills Chamber of Commerce, we can now help support, develop and drive business, continue to help bring together our community, and foster community morale, camaraderie, and fun," said Jennifer Ross, vice president of the chamber.
