Another hurdle passed, but another goal to set.
We've made it past the $12,000 mark ($12,220 to be exact) thanks to the generosity of the people listed below. But our work is far from over as we have a little over two weeks to go until Chamber Day and Chamber Evening (Wednesday, May 1) and even though we traditionally experience a last-minute surge, we're not where we'd like to be.
If you've been sitting on the fence about Chamber Day, Chamber Evening, or the Jon Hardy Challenge, we'd urge you to get involved NOW and get signed up for any or all events that appeal to you. Don't sit back assuming others will carry the load because we don't want to put our Chamber in a financial bind. Your donations make a huge difference in the ability of our Chamber to provide a safety net for divers on a 24/7/365 basis and your participation in this event is greatly appreciated.
If you'd like to get involved ($75 for the boats, $75 for the Evening), it's easy to do. You can sign up on the web at "www.chamberday.org" . . . OR . . . you can mail a check to: Chamber Day, 8612 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90211 (make it payable to either Reef Seekers or Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber) . . . OR . . . you can call us at 310/652-4990 and do it all over the phone. (All donations are tax-deductible as the Chamber is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization FIC 95-1642394, CGEC ONAF5.)
So . . . WHO'S NEXT??????
