We’re getting closer and closer to May 6 . . .

What gets interesting is now I have some shops and clubs calling after they’ve checked their numbers for the Dutchman or virtual Chamber Eve and they ask, “Are you sure that’s all I’ve got signed up?”

When you sing up for either of those, make sure you list your shop/club/group affiliation so we can give credit where credit is due.

And it underscores how much we depend on the shops/clubs/groups to help us spread the word and get you motivated to pitch in and support our Chamber. This whole event underscores that this is a COMMUNITY event and that we are all in this together. Hopefully you contribute not only because you think you might need our Chamber, but because you’re willing to help someone else who you might not even know, in their time of need. That’s what COMMUNITY is all about.

So see what strikes your fancy and 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/.
