We are exactly two weeks away from Chamber Day and Chamber Evening (Wednesday, May 1) and, as the clock winds down, the numbers for the Jon Hardy Chamber Challenge keep building up as we are now at $13,050. Our next goal is to hit $14,000.
It's so gratifying to see so many of you willing to honor the memory of Jon Hardy and recognize the good work he did to help keep divers safe. In that same vein, the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber is there to not only treat divers who get into trouble, but also to educate divers and show them how to avoid problems in the first place. Safer divers make for better divers and that's an underlying goal of our Chamber.
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.) We sincerely appreciate whatever level of support that's right for you.
So . . . WHO'S NEXT??????
