Chamber Day
Contributor
The Challenge train keeps on rolling. But first, we have some housekeeping things to clear up.
I inadvertently swapped some names around in yesterday’s update. (My excuse is that my brain is still diving in Socorro.) Gary Williams was our Silver-level donor yesterday. He’s been a regular supporter of our Chamber and we appreciate his continuation of that effort.
Also, a number of you have wondered if we got your Challenge donation because it didn’t show up in an update. Although your credit cards are charged/processed in real-time, that’s not the case with getting the specific info to me for the updates. We have to do a lot of that manually. So that means that Karl has to go in and retrieve the various sign-ups in all aspects of the event for a given day (or two), he then has to format them, they then get sent to me, I then have to manually enter them in our various Google Docs forms, and only after all that is done can I then do an overall event or Challenge-only update. So there’s almost always going to be a lag time between when you make a Challenge donation and when it appears in one of the periodic updates. (But anytime you’ve got a question about your donation, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone.)
That all being said . . .
We’ve passed the $35,000 mark and that’s because of a very generous donation from Jim Collins on the Gold level. He was a Silver-level donor last year and we’re quite pleased that he was willing to raise his commitment to our Chamber for this year.
So how about you? Can you join the growing list of people are understand the value of our Chamber and are willing to kick in some money to keep us financially healthy? Here’s the sign-up/donation page link: https://usc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cTKwbhUykVzL95Q
