We are less than four weeks away from Chamber Day 2020 . . .

Needless to say, it’s going to be an unusual one for both us and you. But our Chamber stands at the ready, even in these difficult times. Unlike a “normal” business that might see some of their everyday operating expenses decrease while dealing COVID-19, through layoffs and lessened business activity, our Chamber doesn’t really have that luxury. If some got bent this week, or even right now, there are people there on standby ready to help.

And that’s why we keep asking you to help as well. When life – and diving – returns to the new normal, we want to assure you that your Chamber will still be there for you. But we can’t do it without YOUR help. So whether it’s a Challenge donation, joining the Dutchman crew, “attending” virtual Chamber Eve, or even just buying some t-shirts, everything helps.

So get involved with one or more aspects of Chamber Day 2020. The direct link to our sign-up page is: https://dornsife.usc.edu/chamberday/signup-link/.

Here’s where we are as of 4PM on 4/10/20:
