By Danielle Wiseman, the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce

On Tuesday, September 21st, the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce held its fall Member Meetup, “Roll Down to Rab’s,” co-sponsored by Aurora Computer Technology and Rab’s Country Lanes. Approximately 50 Chamber members gathered at Rab’s on Tuesday for an evening of networking, appetizers, and, of course, bowling.

The event kicked off in the charming High Roller’s Lounge, a hidden gem at Rab’s featuring an extensive bar, lounge area, and pool tables. Rab’s also generously provided food and drinks for event attendees.

Linda Baran, President and CEO of the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, started her remarks by thanking hosts Frank Wilkinson, owner of Rab’s Country Lanes, and Pat Buono, owner of Aurora Computer Technology. She continued by introducing new members Caileen Gonzalez of Tiny to Tall Tutoring, Dr. Ife Akinsheye Damon of The Community-Based Education Movement, and Irina Portnova of Life Palette Coaching.

Frank Scarangello, Chairman of the Board of the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, provided additional commentary during the new member introductions, asking questions and offering words of support. “Listen, you have to come to these events, mix, and make it fun,” says Scarangello. “The Chamber has a ton of unique, new businesses that a lot of us old folks aren’t quite aware of yet, and that’s why we’re here. There are a bunch of people in this room who have a lot to share with us, and we want them to share. We push them to share!”

Members ended the night with some hearty rounds of bowling, bonding with familiar and unfamiliar faces alike. Thank you again to Rab’s Country Lanes and Aurora Computer Technology, and we hope to see you at the next Member Meetup!

If there are two things that we love at Rab’s Country Lanes, it’s the holiday season and bowling. And if you’re like us, there’s nothing better than having them both under one roof! That’s why jolly old St. Nick is coming all the way from the North Pole for another awesome bowling santa Breakfast and Bowling with Santa this year. We can’t wait to celebrate his arrival with you on Staten Island, New York!

Come to Rab’s on December 17^th between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. for Breakfast and Bowling with Santa!

In honor of Santa’s visit, we’ll be offering an amazing deal packed with fun and memories to be made this holiday season. Here’s what you have to look forward to:

Pay $20 and get 1 hour of bowling including shoe rental and bowling balls. Plus, we’ll have a delicious buffet with all your breakfast favorites, because no morning party would be complete without brunch!
Included in admission is a chance to get your picture taken with the big man himself! Santa Claus will be posing for pictures with whoever wants one. If there’s a better way to kick off the holidays, we haven’t heard about it!
If you’re not in the mood to bowl (or you just want to watch and indulge in the awesome buffet), we’re only charging $12 for breakfast and some hang time with Santa.

At Rab’s Country Lanes, we’re ready to let the festivities begin and we hope to see you here. Be sure to reserve your spot ASAP. Space is limited and we’re filling up fast!
