CHAMBER DAY 25 & CHAMBER EVE 2013 - EVENT UPDATE "A" (posted 3/25/13)

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 the loop: Chamber Day 2013 is Wednesday, May 1.

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. Last year that total was just over $136,000, a new record. How we do this year is literally up to you.

We've got boats and the Flying Dutchman for the 25th anniversary of the Day event. The Chamber Challenge is off and running. We've made a good start on Chamber Evening. But we've still got a long ways to go and only a little over five weeks to get there.

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 2012. The direct link to our sign-up page is:
