CHAMBER DAY/EVE 2010 - EVENT UPDATE "A" (posted 3/27/10)

Here's the first of our overall Chamber Day/Eve event updates (not to be confused with our Challenge-only updated which are done separately and more frequently) to let you know how we're doing on all aspects of the upcoming event.

And in case you've been out of touch: Chamber Day 2010 is Wednesday, May 5.

For the third year in a row, we have sponsor requests for EVERY table at Chamber Evening. (This doesn’t mean there aren’t still seats available, just simply that the sponsorships for each table are already assigned.) Once again we've got a table-sponsor waiting list. The Chamber Challenge is off to an excellent start. The boats are starting to fill. The Flying Dutchman's not so good, but hopefully that will change.

Now we need to get some momentum going. This is an event that lives and dies by word-of-mouth. So hopefully YOU are talking it up to your friends, customers, club members, etc. Remember that the monies we net from this event all go to help keep our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber on sound financial footing.

Our Chamber is a vital safety net for the SoCal diving community. Your support keeps it strong. So get involved with one or more aspects of Chamber Day 2009. Here’s where we are as of Noon on 3/27:
