What a difference a couple of days makes. We’re almost at $15,000 but we’ve still got a ways to go. But we’re very gratified by the support we’ve gotten, especially in the following e-mail we received:
“The South Orange County Dive Club (SOCDC) is proud to be officially donating a check in the amount of $2150 at the Chamber Evening event. Many of our members will also be attending the event at the Laguna Seasports tables in a show of our support. In fact several of our members are also working the event serving tables . . . We challenge any and all other dive clubs to pitch in as well. It is our pleasure to have been able to raise these funds thru our raffles and memberships and direct member donations . . . We hope this helps you reach your goals and look forward to seeing you all at the event that night.”
We have two things to say: (1) Wow!!!, and (2) Thank you.
That’s the type of spirit we hope Chamber Day creates. It’s when we all pull together that we can serve the greater good. You can donate to the Challenge by calling 310/652-4990 or through the website at www.chamberday.org . The Chamber is there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And now, we’re asking you to be there for your Chamber. Who’s willing to put us over $15,000?
So . . . who’s next?????????
