CHAMBER DAY BOATS
We’re at 81% capacity with less than two weeks to go, having sold 245 spots out of 302 available, plus another 22 on the Flying Dutchman, our mythical (and fake - just to be clear) Chamber Day boat.
You pay $85 for the day (all the proceeds go to the Chamber) and choose from the available boats. This year, all the boats are doing food-and-air-included so we’ll also collect $20 from you for that (making the total tab $105). There will be an free on-board raffle on the way over to Catalina. You’ll also get a commemorative Chamber Day 2005 t-shirt, five raffle tickets (you’re encouraged to buy more on your boat or at the Chamber), you’ll make two dives at Catalina, plus get a 75-minute walking tour of the Chamber and facilities.
Here’s where we are as of 4-21 on the boats (along with whether they’re sponsored or open):

CHAMBER EVENING
Right now, we’re right at 61% for Chamber Evening, with 244 out of 400 spots accounted for. We’ve got room at the table(s) for you . . .
Cost of the evening is $85 and for that you’ll receive tickets good for two (non-alcoholic) drinks (coffee, tea, and water available with your meal as well). You’ll also receive 5 raffle tickets, good for some special prizes we’ll have on hand for the evening. Plus, there will be opportunity (and encouragement and arm-twisting) to buy more raffle tickets while you’re there. Total value of the evening raffle prizes will approach $10,000 and includes regulators, BCs, computers, and even a complete gear set. (See the website - www.chamberday.org - for a complete listing of all prizes and donors.)
As with Chamber Day, Chamber Evening tickets can be purchased by calling our co-ordinating store at (310)652-4990 or by going to our secure server at www.chamberday.org. Just indicate how many tickets you want and how you want to pay. It’s as simple as that.
