We’re now officially in the home stretch as we’re only eight days away from Chamber Day 2018 (May 2). Things definitely slacked off a bit last week so hopefully we can pick up the pace and the action this week to get us back on track. Some things to know and consider:

• Second Stage has found a new home at Newmark’s in Wilmington and is now back in our fleet
• There are spots available on all boats except for Giant Stride
• There’s always room for you on the Flying Dutchman
• Due to construction at AOP, we are doing some re-configuring of the tables
• Because of that, we may end Chamber Eve ticket sales by the end of this week
• If you’ve already purchased a Ch-Eve ticket, you can still add on the V.G.D. VIP package

All of this is fairly typical for close-to-Chamber-Day activities. But especially with the AOP construction and that we might be closing Ch-Eve ticket sales much earlier than in the past, if you’ve been debating about going, don’t wait so long that you miss the opportunity to join us for the dive party of the year.

Here’s where we are overall as of 8AM on Tuesday, April 24:
