Long Island Press hosts New Year’s
party at Simplay
Scores of supporters reveled at a New Year’s client appreciation networking
party hosted by the Long Island Press and Schneps Communications Events on
Thursday, Jan. 11 at Simplay in Hauppauge.
Attendees, who included past event honorees, mingled and noshed on
complimentary food courtesy of The Sexy Salad, sipped cocktails and engaged in
some friendly competition at Long Island’s only multisport simulator facility.
Special thanks to sponsors Simplay co-owners Chuck Merritt and Chris Wyllie;
John Robertson, owner of The Sexy Salad; Manda Kalimian of the CANA
Foundation; Adam Schwam of Sandwire; plus T-Mobile.
The event comes as Schneps Communications celebrates the acquisition of Noticia
and the people who have built it during the past 26 years, including Publisher
Silvana Diaz, her sister, Cinthia, and mother, Vicky. The Spanish-language
publication joins El Correo of NY, Schneps’ Spanish-language publication covering
Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan.
“This will offer a regional buy for clients who want to reach the
Hispanic/Latino audience in New York City and Long Island
and will bring quality news to the Spanish-speaking
communities of our region,” said Victoria Schneps-Yunis,
president of Schneps Communications. “And events like
these bring together all our friends for unprecedented
networking.”
