We’re making steady progress and we try to pass $100,000 in the Challenge.

We are led this morning by a longtime supporter of our Chamber, Maja Vrvilo. She has a long history with this event as well as she and he r partner Rick are always crew members on the Flying Dutchman well. So we’re quite happy this year to tell you that Maja has increased her annual contribution and is now a Platinum-level donor.

We have a returning dive shop, Eco Dive Center, at Gold level. Ron & Beth Beltramo are not only longtime supporters of our Chamber but they are manage to fill a lot of seats at Chamber Evening as well. So we’re quite happy to have them working for both of those aspects of the event.

We also this morning have a Silver-level donor in the personage of James Whipple, a longtime supporter who is frequently on the Dutchman but this year has switched over to the Challenge.

It’s folks like these as well as you that make this Chamber Day so special and unique. We like to think of it as an “ecumenical” event where everyone comes together for the greater good of the diving community. We hope you’ll be joining us this year in that spirit.
