We’re in the home stretch as Chamber Day 2019 is only a few days away, next Wednesday, May 1. Things always get more hectic in the closing days but even more so this year.

We found out late Thursday night that, due to a Coast Guard issue, the Cee Ray would not be available for Chamber Day. Fortunately, Kevin Bell and the Bottom Scratcher have stepped and volunteered to fill in. They don’t take quite as many as we had on the Cee Ray so a few people went to other boats and a few went to the Dutchman but with Kevin’s help, we’re able to accommodate everyone. (It also means we have a few spots left on the Bottom Scratcher and - due to a couple of late cancellations - some spots on Asante.)

Chamber Eve ticket sales are now closed, although we might squeeze one or two people here or there. If you need to get a ticket, the only way to do so is call 310/652-4990 and we’ll see what’s what.

But we’ve got room for you on the Dutchman, we’re happy to take Challenge donations (which seem to have stalled a bit), and you can still order t-shirts either to be shipped to you or picked up day- or evening-of.

Only a few days to go!!! Get involved with one or more aspects of Chamber Day 2019. The direct link to our sign-up page is: https://dornsife.usc.edu/cf/chamberday/payment.cfm
