A Message from Our President, Ed Basse
This Thursday, we’re bringing Fireside at the Farm back to Langwater Farm for our second year — and I couldn’t be more excited.
Last year, we set a goal of 150 people. When we hit 200, we knew something special was happening.
But what really stuck with me were the comments afterward:
“I never realized the Chamber was so cool!”
“If this is how the Chamber takes care of the business community, count me in for support.”
Weeks later, people were still talking about the night — meeting other business owners and community members, making new friends and even making business connections and deals.
That’s exactly what we want the Easton Chamber to be about.
We want to bring our businesses and community together, create fun and engaging events, build relationships and generate the support needed to keep local businesses thriving in Easton.
And if you were there last year, you know the vibe!
A beautiful night at Langwater. Music from The Duo. Pizza, salad and s’mores. Fire pits, signature cocktails, co****le, friends meeting friends and people meeting new people.
None of this happens without the tremendous support of our sponsors.
A huge thank-you to our Fireside Partners — North Easton Savings Bank, C.J. Pickering Hardscapes and Hannon Electric — our largest supporters of the evening.
Thank you to Northeastern Trade (Game Zone Sponsor), Bank of Easton (Dessert Sponsor), Niko (Mini Bar Sponsor), Bourne’s Auto (Registration Sponsor), ACS (Entertainment Sponsor), Morse Insurance, Godfrey Auto and Herb Rosen Estates (Fire Pit Sponsors), Albert Basse Associates (Signage Sponsor), and Halvorsen Orthodontics (Photo Experience Sponsor).
And thank you to all our Friends of the Chamber: LTP Pickleball, Family and Community Resources, Shoveltown Auto Service, Elliott Physical Therapy, North Easton Dental Associates, The Farmer’s Daughter, Old Colony YMCA, Elite Insurance, Personal Best Karate and Weinstein Keach Real Estate.
I also want to recognize our amazing Board of Directors and the people who give their time, ideas and energy to making the Chamber what it is: Darcy Paiva, Mark Halvorsen, Kirk George, Kerrie McLellan, Courtney Palm, Frank Altieri, Kris Ventresco, Paula Harvey, Anna Tam, Janet Lind, Billy Humphrey, Dave Riquinha and Mark Vinocoor.
And I’m very excited to officially welcome and introduce our new Program Director, Ashley O’Reilly! Ashley has jumped right in, and we’re thrilled to have her helping us build on the momentum of the Chamber and continue growing our membership, events and involvement throughout the Easton business community.
Thank you, Ashley, and welcome back to the Easton Chamber! We’re excited about what’s ahead
The Chamber is here to support local business, build relationships and strengthen our community. And we need our community’s participation to keep that momentum growing.
So come join us Thursday night. Bring your spouse, employees, friends or coworkers. Meet someone new. Grab some pizza and a cocktail, sit around a fire pit, play some co****le and enjoy a great fall night at Langwater.
And who knows? You might walk away saying…
“I never realized the Chamber was so cool.”
Hope to see you there!
Ed Basse
President
Easton Chamber of Commerce
