I'm off to NYC in the morning and what a great sendoff knowing we've gotten past $35,000!!!

We are led to this plateau on the Silver level by Dr. Andy Pilmanis, the original director of our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. He is joined by co-Silver sponsors and two longtime Chamber supporters Maja Vrvilo and Rebecca Jackrel. Both Maja & Rebecca understand the importance of our Chamber and their need (and hopefully desire) to support it.

We've also got another matching grant from Conoco-Phillips ($250 from Angi Burkhard which makes it $500 with the match) and reminds us to remind you to see if your company has a matching grant program for qualified organizations. If they do, you can double the value of your donation to our Chamber.

Our next goal is $40,000. So who's next???? Who will push us forward???
