Message from the President-Chair  
June 19, 2017
Hello Chamber Members,
 
Happy Monday! Welcome to the first week of summer and the hot temperatures too. If you are outdoors for any length of time, be sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
 
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is proposing a new Art Ordinance that will be discussed at the next City Council meeting. While the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce does not take a position for or against this ordinance, the Board of Directors has decided to notify our members about the new ordinance and post the draft copy so that your comments and suggestion can be presented at the City Council meeting. You may click the following link, https://www.cityofrc.us/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=30518 or copy it into your browser to see the latest draft version of the Art Ordinance.
 
Less than one month from now, July 14th, the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce will host our 40th Annual Business Awards and Installation Dinner. Tickets are selling fast and the event will be sold out soon. Contact the Chamber office for sponsorship opportunities or go to our website to purchase event tickets.
