Chamber to Honor Bridgehampton National Bank CEO; Cross Sound Ferry

Kevin O'Connor, CEO of Bridgehampton National Bank, and the Wronowski family of Cross Sound Ferry will take center stage Friday night at Raphael Vineyards.

 

 

Members of the North Fork Chamber of Commerce will honor Bridgehampton National Banks's CEO Kevin O'Connor and the Wronowski family, the group behind the scenes at Cross Sound Ferry Service, at the chamber's first-annual "Snowflake Gala" on Friday.

Raphael Vineyards in Peconic will host the awards event, which begins at 6 p.m. with a Mediterranean cocktail hour, dinner and dancing with live music from the Jon DiVello band, beer from Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, and tastings from Long Island Vodka.

The chamber chose these two businesses for their continued committment to the North Fork. In March of 2010, Bridgehampton National Bank celebrated 100 years in business, still thriving even in tough economic times. O'Connor told the Times/Review newspaper group in 2010 about how personalized service and an understanding of small business needs have helped the company, which has branches all over the East End and has reached as far as Patchogue and Center Moriches, stay afloat in an era of big bank bailouts.

Though they are headquartered in New London, Conn., Cross Sound Ferry is an essential transportation service for the North Fork, New York City and the rest of Long Island, serving over a million passengers per year.

Tickets to the gala are $95. Please RSVP at 631-765-3161 or email info@northforkchamber.org.
