(As of 5/1/09 - last update was 4/24/09)

We creep closer and closer to the finish line.

Traditionally, the days leading up to Chamber Day - including the weekend preceding it - are a flurry of activity, both from your side and last-minute sign-ups and donations, and from our side with getting all the last-minute logistics done so we can welcome 300 people to the Chamber facilities at Catalina and then dine with over 500 of you that evening.

But the point is that even though the pace picks up, we still need your help and we're never too busy to make sure you're part of this great event.

So here's where we are as of Friday morning, may 1, at 9AM:
