THE COMMUNITY CHEST OF PORT WASHINGTON CELEBRATES THE COMPLETION OF THE 2007-2008 CAMPAIGN.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in this year's campaign. We expect that the campaign will close a just under $320,000, very close to our $325,000 campaign target.

Residents and businesses in Port Washington should watch for the new Community Chest brochure coming in the mail during the month of October. 

Look at the red feather signs that will show the progress of the campaign at the Post Office, the LIRR Station and in front of the Community Chest building (opposite the Town Dock). 

No matter where in the Port Washington area you live, whether it's Manorhaven, Sands Point, Salem, Port Washington, Manhasset Bay Estates, the Park section, etc, the Community Chest is here for you, and the Community Chest needs your support. For more information about the Chest, please call 516-767-2121 or contact the Chest at info@portchest.org.

The campaign funds are distributed to 23 organizations that provide local Port Washington educational, social service, and scholarship services.

CONGRATULATIONS
