Farmingdale, NY – On August 5, women professionals and entrepreneurs from across Long Island came together in the heart of Farmingdale for the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce’s annual Women in Business Multi-Chamber Networking Event. Held at the lively and welcoming 317 Main Street, the gathering brought together talent, leadership, and community spirit for an evening of networking, collaboration, and celebration.
 
The event—hosted by the Farmingdale Chamber’s Mind Your Business women’s group—welcomed members from multiple Long Island chambers of commerce, reinforcing the power of connection among women in business. This year’s program was co-chaired by Catherine Gabreski and Christa Lucarelli, with Roberta Perry of ScrubzBody® Skin Care Products volunteering as the evening’s energetic emcee.
 
Attendees were inspired by guest speakers Faith Lovell and Elizabeth Hashagen, who shared empowering messages about leadership, resilience, and building strong professional networks.

The evening was filled with inspiration, connection, and community spirit—plus it raised $2,000 for Bethany House, helping women and children in need. 

Local businesses added special touches that made the evening unforgettable:
 

• 317 Main Street and The Nutty Irishman Recovery Room – for food, desserts, and warm hospitality
• Mionetto Prosecco – for adding sparkle to the celebration
• Signature Sounds Entertainment – for the fun photo booth
• Balloons and Bouncers – for the festive backdrop
• KarinaCPhotography – for capturing the event beautifully
• A Plus Linens – for donating décor elements

 
“The energy in the room was incredible,” said Roberta Perry. “It’s a testament to what’s possible when women from all backgrounds come together to support each other’s success—not just in business, but in community.”
 
Guests enjoyed a supportive, empowering environment designed to foster meaningful relationships and promote professional growth among women-led businesses.
