Many thanks. This is the first year we've sold out this far ahead of time.

CHAMBER CHALLENGE
We’ll update this one separately but as of 4/28 @ 1:15PM we’re at $14,075. Plus we’ve also got the Leon Slavin Memorial Fund (a Reef Seekers Diver who died - non-diving - suddenyl a month ago) and we’ll add that total in on Chamber Evening, and it will be significant. But we’ve still got a ways to go to beat the $23K we did last year. With your help - we can do it.

MURALS & INDIVIDUAL TILES
We’ve already sold 22 full murals ($500 each) and 44 individual tiles. These are great keepsakes and truly collectibles. They also make nice gifts.

So that’s where we are. Give us a call at 310/52-4990 or go to the website at www.chamberday.org and get involved. We'll keep you posted and, as always, we thank you for your support.
