Chamber Day
Contributor
Good morning!!! Despite the overcast day (it even rained here in Westwood where I’m writing this), the forecast for Chamber Day 2025 is looking good.
We are exactly six weeks away from this annual fund-raising event for our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. Don’t forget that our Chamber relies on voluntary donations from divers just like you to cover over 50% of the annual operating budget. And especially in these tough economic times, when ever day you hear more and more talk of reductions in government outlays to various organizations, your support becomes even more crucial.
We went live with event sign-ups as of March 1 and this is where we are after the first 25 days. There’s still plenty of time to get YOU involved but sooner is always preferably to better. Remember that every dollar donated helps. You can get signed up for any and all aspects of this fabulous event through this link: https://usc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_88ko1OUej3lAYbI
