Under their expansive tented park-ing lot, Martha’s Vineyard Savings Bank, 397 Palmer Avenue, hosted the monthly gathering of the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce members and guests for the June Business After Hours.

What makes these gatherings so successful and well attended is the thoughtful hospitality and well ex-ecuted management of these affairs month after month and year in and year out. This month was no excep-tion.

Under blue skies, a gentle Cape Cod breeze, and the great music of the Falmouth High School Jazz Band, MV Bank paired fellow Chamber members Anthony Carroll, Executive Chef and Co-Owner of Parkside Market, 281 Main Street, with John’s Liquor’s, 729 Main Street to ensure a good time of business networking was had by all.

The featured nonprofi t, Carousel of Light, which is gearing up for its second successful year of joyful rides at Mullen

Hall School, 130 Katharine Lee Bates Road, was also the surprised recipient of the bank’s generous donation.

SAVE THE DATE: The Chamber’s

next Business After Hours network-ing is slated for ATRIA Senior Living, 339 Gifford Street, July 16, 2015, from 5:00 to 7:00pm.

This year the U.S. Travel’s 2015 IPW set a business meeting record. More than 6,500 delegates from 73 countries, including over 1,300 in-ternational and domestic travel buyers and 500 media from the U.S. and abroad, attended the U.S. Travel Association’s 47th annual IPW, the trav-el industry’s premier international marketplace. At IPW, buyers and sell-ers are able to conduct business that would otherwise be generated only through an exhaustive number of around-the-world trips. The event, the largest single generator of travel to the U.S., con-vened in Orlando, Florida at the Orange County Convention Center from May 30-June 3.

Maura Aldrich, our VP of Tourism and her col-leagues in the course of three days, participated in the IPW Marketplace that held nearly 100,000 pre-scheduled business meetings—a record for IPW—taking place between travel buyers and U.S. travel organizations. Travel initiated by IPW is projected to bring 8.8 mil-lion international visitors to the United States, $28 billion in total spend-ing and $4.7 billion in direct bookings to U.S. destinations over the next three years, according to the independent fi rm Rockport Analytics.

The U.S. Travel Association is the national, non-profi t organization rep-resenting all components of the travel industry that generates $2.1 trillion in economic output and supports 15 million jobs. U.S. Travel’s mission is to increase travel to and within the United States. Visit www.ustravel.org.

President’sCorner

As our town fi lls up with summer residents and visitors, the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce stands pre-pared to assist everyone to make the most of our wonderful town. With the temperatures steadily growing warmer, everyone is looking for-ward to a summer season fi lled with fun things to do and the beach de-partment has been working diligently to insure that our ten beaches are ready to accommodate the thousands of people who travel from all over the world to vacation right here. Summer activities are beginning to come alive with the return of Commodores Baseball and the joy-ful sounds of our own town band playing at the band shell at Marine Park. Whether you decide to take in a movie at Peg Noonan Park, visit the Falmouth Farmers Market at their new location on the harbor at Marine Park, or ride the Carousel of Light at Mullen-Hall school, you will get to experience some of the things that make Falmouth so great. By abandoning your car and riding along the Shining Sea Bikeway you will get to see our town in a new perspective, reliving the route which visitors from years ago took aboard the trains that ran from Boston to Woods Hole. On the way, stop by Bourne Farm, Beebe Woods, or Peterson Farm to experience some of the unspoiled spaces that allow Falmouth to retain its rural charm. If ocean science is your bag, look no further than Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve for both adult and children’s programs or explore the NOAA, National Ma-rine Fisheries Science Aquarium and other visitor centers created by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and Marine Biological Labora-tory in Woods Hole. A fi sherman’s and boater’s paradise, Falmouth of-fers almost eighty miles of coastline to explore with inlets and harbors providing great spots to explore. Make it a point to travel along Route 28 and visit all eight of our villages to get a better understanding of why Falmouth is such a special place and please remember to visit our mer-chants and restaurants along the way. Stop by the Falmouth Chamber Offi ces at 20 Academy Lane in Falmouth Village for maps, information, and a warm welcome!

Warm regards,

Each year the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce is visited by Mrs. Kim Leb-

ouef’s Third Grade class from North Falmouth Elementary School on their

annual outing to learn about Falmouth. The children were fi rst hosted by

the Falmouth Historical Society with a tour of the Museums on the Green,

then walked past historic icons such as the First Congregational Church

and down Main Street before visiting the Chamber. Chamber President Mi-

chael Kasparian told the kids about the history of the former school building

which originally housed the Lawrence Academy and explained the mission

of the Chamber and Visitor’s Center. This year the children were given to-

kens for a free ride on the Carousel of Light which they can redeem once it

opens for the season.

Jack & Bobby, Brothers First, Opens At John F.

Kennedy Hyannis MuseumAfter much anticipation, the John F.

Kennedy Hyannis Museum offi cially opened its special exhibition “Jack & Bobby, Brothers First” to the delight of hundreds of visitors. Elementary school children set the tone for the event by opening to an upbeat recital of Katharine Lee Bates’ “America the Beautiful” at the front steps of the his-toric 1926 building, which presents with a stately and iconic feel worthy of a presidential museum.

Attendees were invited inside where they were addressed by Executive Di-rector John Allen who expressed his satisfaction that the renovations to the building were moving forward and that the opening of the special exhibition was especially gratifying as it contained information and photo-graphs never before seen in public.

The setting of the exhibit is Hyannis Port, where the Kennedy family enter-tained family and friends and which also served as the summer White House during JFK’s administration. With over eighty photographs highlighting impor-tant personal and offi cial government events, visitors will be able to see how important Cape Cod was to the entire Kennedy family. Living on the Cape was a source of the deep bond shared by Jack and Bobby as they worked together while devoting their lives to public service.

Mr. Allen introduced the Consul General of Japan in Boston, Tsutomu Himeno, who was invited to give some remarks to the gathering. Mr. Himeno expressed his country’s respect and admiration for both John and Robert Kennedy and shared his happiness that Caroline Kennedy is able to continue her father’s diplomatic outreach as the United States Ambassador to Japan. Guests were treated to refreshments and encouraged to tour the special ex-hibit, as well as the entire museum at their own pace. For more information, visit www.jfkhyannismuseum.org.

ARE YOU EXPERIENCING COMPUTER PROBLEMS

AT YOUR HOME OR OFFICE?

The earned sick time law, M.G.L. c. 149 § 148C, was approved by the voters on November 4, 2014. The law entitles employees in Massachusetts to earn and use sick time according to certain conditions.

Employees who work for employ-ers having eleven or more employ-ees can earn and use up to 40 hours of paid sick time per calendar year, while employees working for smaller employers can earn and use up to 40 hours of unpaid sick time per calen-dar year.

An employee can use earned sick time if required to miss work in order (1) to care for a physical or mental illness, injury or medical condition affecting the employee or the employ-ee’s child, spouse, parent, or parent of a spouse; (2) to attend routine medi-cal appointments of the employee or the employee’s child, spouse, parent, or parent of a spouse; or (3) to ad-dress the effects of domestic violence on the employee or the employee’s dependent child. Employees will earn one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked, and begin accruing those hours on the date of hire or on July 1, 2015, whichever is later. Em-ployees can begin to use earned sick time on the 90th day after hire.

Employees of a particular city or town are covered only if, as required by the state constitution, the law is made applicable by local or state leg-islative vote or by appropriation of suffi cient funds to pay for the benefi t. Earned paid sick time will be com-pensated at the same hourly rate paid to the employee when the sick time is used.

Employees can carry over up to 40 hours of unused sick time to the next calendar year, but cannot use more than 40 hours in a calendar year. Em-ployers do not have to pay employ-ees for unused sick time at the end of their employment. If an employee misses work for a reason eligible for

earned sick time, but agrees with the employer to work the same number of hours or shifts in the same or next pay period, the employee will not have to use earned sick time for the missed time, and the employer will not have to pay for that missed time. Employ-ers will be prohibited from requiring an employee to work additional hours to make up for missed time, or to fi nd a replacement employee.

Employers may require certifi ca-tion of the need for sick time if an em-ployee uses sick time for more than 24 consecutively scheduled work hours. Employers cannot delay the taking of or payment for earned sick time because they have not received the certifi cation. Employees must make a good faith effort to notify an employer in advance if the need for earned sick time is foreseeable.

Employers are prohibited from in-terfering with or retaliating based on an employee’s exercise of earned sick time rights, and from retaliating based on an employee’s support of another employee’s exercise of such rights.

The law does not override employ-ers’ obligations under any contract or benefi t plan with more generous provisions than those in the law. Em-ployers that have their own policies providing as much paid time off, us-able for the same purposes and under the same conditions as the law, are not be required to provide additional paid sick time.

The Attorney General enforces the law, using the same enforcement pro-cedures applicable to other state wage laws, and employees can fi le suits in court to enforce their earned sick time rights.

The law took effect on July 1, 2015. For more information, or to down-load the employee notice for posting, visit www.mass.gov/ago/doing-busi-ness-in-massachusetts/labor-laws-and-public-construction/earned-sick-time/.

Members of the Martha’s Vine-yard and the Falmouth Chambers of Commerce came together in May for their annual boat ride and business networking social aboard the Steam-ship Authority’s MV Island Home. Despite the raw weather and choppy seas, the boat was fi lled to capacity by members eager to make ties and renew connections with community business leaders of the respective communities.

With great music, tasty hors d’ oeuvres, and refreshing libations the Steamship Authority set the stage

for trouble-free business networking away from shore – proving once again that early registration paid off for the fi rst collective two hundred members of both Chambers of Commerce. As usual, the Falmouth Chamber Am-bassadors served as genial hosts and connectors.

Returning to their respective docks after a couple of hours of shipboard networking, members were heard to refl ect appreciatively on the gener-osity of Steamship Authority and its longtime support of the two business sectors.

Add one donated bicycle with equal parts of enthusiasm, devotion to community, and commitment to a cleaner environment and you get the ingredients for a fun project! Throw in a bit of mechanical knowledge with a whole lot of eagerness to learn and the end result is a resurrected bicycle ready to be paired with someone look-ing to give it a new home!

This is the Falmouth Bike Lab and they are truly mixing up some great concoctions there. Jeremy Tagliaferri who is Director of Youth Ministries at John Wesley United Methodist Church, is the driving force behind this project that focuses on teaching people about the power of bicycles. Educational programs are offered to youth and adults ranging from basic riding to repairing skills. The Bike Lab also offers a few programs for people to earn a bike to take home.

With the basic idea of getting as many people onto a bicycle that need and want one, the Bike Lab offers something for everyone regardless of age. The concept is very simple: volunteers help cyclists either repair their bikes or build bikes which are given away. Open Shop takes place each Wednesday night between 7:00pm – 9:00pm when anyone from the community can come in and get help fi xing their bike. Volunteers do not need any experience and are able to take a bike home after devoting a total of 4 hours.

After hearing about all the terrifi c work that was going on at the Bike Lab, I decided to volunteer myself and work toward earning a bike that I am hoping to commute to work on one day a week. I was delighted to fi nd several adult volunteers, as well as Lawrence School student Hunter

Mulvey helping people of all ages fi nd and repair bicycles. Several young women from Hungary who are sum-mer workers were there that evening because they needed basic transporta-tion to get back and forth from their jobs. All of them selected bikes that were donated by members of the Falmouth community and by the end of the evening they rode home after working together and with the vol-unteers garnering a bit more bicycle know how, but more importantly with the knowledge that Falmouth is a community that cares about the people who live and work here.

I had a great time helping out on several bikes that were brought in for little repairs, including a bicycle be-longing to a Morse Pond school stu-dent that needed new handlebar grips. No project is too large or too small and between Jeremy and the volunteers it seems as if almost any problem can be corrected. I left my fi rst volunteer session extremely satisfi ed that I not only helped other, but was a bit closer to fulfi lling the required hours to pick out a bike which I could then fi x up with the help of others to ride around Falmouth.

The annual Career Day at Law-rence School was a huge success with dozens of businesses, gov-ernment agencies and non-profi t organizations participating in the day’s activities. Seventh and eighth grade students visited every booth, giving them an op-portunity to learn about possible career options and ask questions. Many organizations used creative demonstrations, such as the U.S. Coast Guard who led students in physical activities. Sixth grade students from Morse Pond School who happened to be touring the Lawrence School also visited the booths and got an early exposure to the next step in their school careers. The Falmouth Chamber was excited for the opportunity to educate the students on the im-portance of business development and tourism.
