Chamber Day
Contributor
In 1989, Chamber Day was created as a way of providing more secure funding for our Chamber. And since that time, we've come back to you annually to ask you to support your Chamber. We hope you'll never need it, but if you do, you'll be glad it's there.
A key component of our fund-raising efforts, especially the past few years, has been the Chamber Challenge. We “challenge” you to give a straight donation to our Chamber, and we hope you will then turn around and challenge your friends and dive buddies to match your generosity. And I am amazed and delighted to announce that we've passed $4,000 already!!!
We start off with two long-time stalwart supporters of our Chamber, Pacific Wilderness and John Delaney, both at the $1,000 level. Pacific Wilderness realizes that, as a dive shop, our Chamber might be needed some day to help out on of their customers. And John, as a regular diver, knows that sometimes things can wrong when you least expect it, and having our Chamber there to help is of paramount importance.
We’ve also got a trio of Silver-level donors ($500), all of whom are previous supporters of the Chamber in the personas of Karl Huggins, Don Lake, and Williams Chambers. Karl’s donation - in memory of his mentor, Lee Somers - is a good reminder that you can do a donation in someone’s memory or honor. We’ll list their name as well as yours.
So we’re off to a good start but we’ve got a long ways to go. We’re gearing up for March Madness, so about how about a little Chamber Challenge madness to match? Who's next? Who will help push us over $5,000?
