Nothing like a little Sunday morning Chamber Day 2022 update to start your day.

BTW, don’t forget that we also do FaceBook Live updates every Friday afternoon at 5PM on the Chamber FaceBook page. If you miss the live event, you can watch the recording through the newsfeed &/or the video archives.

We’re still moving in the right direction but it was a slow week. We generally find that as we get closer and closer to the actual event date (May 4 this year), things pick up and we’ll hope that’s the case in 2022.

Don’t lose sight of the fact that our Chamber relies on public donations to cover roughly 55% of the annual budget and Chamber Day provides an enormous chunk of that. So a successful Chamber Day means a financially stable Chamber. And that’s why YOUR support, in whatever form that takes, is so critical to the Chamber staying available 24/7/365.

So join (literally) hundreds of your fellow divers and let us know that you support our Chamber by signing up for a boat, getting a seat at the dinner table, or making a Challenge donation. We’re counting on YOU. The direct link to our sign-up page is: https://usc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cTKwbhUykVzL95Q

Please remember it takes a few days from when you sign-up until it reaches me so there are likely sign-ups in the pipeline that are not reflected below. Here’s what we’ve processed through 10AM on 4/10/22:
