The Levittown Chamber of Commerce would like to introduce Patricia Patane, President of the Levittown Community Council for the last several years and a member of the Council since 2010. The position of President and the entire Board of the Community Council are all volunteers who have “day jobs”. Patane’s day job for the past 27 years is with AlcottHR as their Director of Administration. She is married to her husband Don with son Ryan and daughter-in law Irina… and don’t forget their Westie, Bailey.
The Levittown Community Council was formed in 1998 for Levittown’s 50th anniversary and continued with new events moving forward, including Levittown’s 75th anniversary celebration last year.
Patane says their mission is to promote pride and unity in the Levittown community…. To bring together organizations and residents of Levittown and surrounding areas for the betterment of the community.
When asking Patane about some other thoughts, she had this to say “An organization is only as strong as its board and its members. We are fortunate to have a committed team of individuals who work tirelessly to provide the many events that we offer throughout the year: WinterFest, Earth Day Cleanup, Jr. Volunteer of the Year Awards, Lazy Days of Summer, Youth Recognition Award, Halloween Horror House, Home for the Holidays and new this year… a Halloween Pet Parade!”
Patane says the Community Council also support their organization members in the pursuit of their goals, which includes an annual contribution to Adopt a Family which benefits underprivileged children in the community. Events are free to the community, funded through the generosity of local businesses and membership fees. Annual membership is nominal: Individual is $15, Family is $20 and an Organization/Business Membership is $50.
