May Day!!! May Day!!! Happy May Day!!! And Happy that we’re almost at $110,000 and May pass that mark any Day now.

We start off with a Gold-level contribution from a longtime dive store supporter, Eco Dive Center, but this year it comes with a tear as it’s in memory of one of their own no longer with us, Skip Tucker. To say Skip was gregarious and left an impression would be an understatement and his presence at Eco will be missed. (He will also be featured in our “In Memoriam” segment Chamber Eve.)

We also have a trio of Silver-level donations starting with another regular support of the Chamber, Allison Vitsky. Her donation this year is also in memory of someone, her friend Tom Dietz. Allison’s kindness is matched by her employer Pfizer (yes, THAT Pfizer) who believes not only is keeping us safe from COVID but also in supporting their employee’s generosity with a corporate match. And we round out the Silver level with Robert Fenton.

The end is in sight as Chamber Day is THIS coming Wednesday. And it’s still not too late to have your donation make an impact in this record-setting year. How high can we go? That’s sort of up to you. Here’s the direct link to the donation page. We’d love to add your name: https://usc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dp3rzL7cVCFp1rM.
