Happy New Year – Feliz Año Nuevo!
It is an honor to greet the New Year alongside my Chamber family. As 2021 begins to unfold, let us recognize the remarkable acts of kindness, compassion, and heroism that we witnessed in 2020.
In the midst of so much need and sorrow, a powerful spirit of Community arose. Such caring, compassion, and kind spiritedness led us to contribute, and to take action. The community responded and the donations poured into food banks, toy drives and various charitable organizations.
Our first responders lead the way by example, demonstrating courage, dedication, and selflessness at a heroic level. Working tirelessly and risking exposing their own families, these men and women exemplify the dignity and value of Humanity.
I am looking forward to the road ahead with a lot of enthusiasm and determination. I am enthusiastic to explore with an open mind new possibilities and determined to seek the opportunity within them to bring support to you, our members, and to strengthen the economy of our city.
I believe that as an organization, one of the most valuable assets we have at hand is the strong relationship between us. We are stronger when we work together; when we support one another we increase our probabilities to be successful.
A great example of the power of our relationship was beautifully demonstrated during the last few marketing campaigns the Rancho Chamber organized and implemented. From Business Profile Videos to a Business Spotlight Challenge and a Video Contest, the Rancho Cucamonga business community was heavily promoted through electronic and social media exposure. Business owners, city officials, and residents eagerly stepped up to the challenge and created fun and informative videos, sharing with the community about some of their favorite places in the city and inviting all to show their support by shopping and dining in Rancho Cucamonga.
The video contest produced four winners. Congratulations to Handel's Rancho Cucamonga, Awaken Media Solutions, New Color Screen Printing, and Synergi Orthodontics. They will be receiving a $250 grant and a one year chamber membership.
I would like to acknowledge our amazing sponsors. Your trust in us and your continuous patronage is invaluable to the Chamber. Now more than ever your support is vital for the Chamber to continue its mission to “promote a business friendly environment to enhance the quality of life and economy of Rancho Cucamonga.”
This particular campaign was possible by the generous support of Burrtec Waste Industries, Cambridge College, Accent Computer Solutions, Southern California Edison (SCE), Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD), Home Masters International, The Ontario Reign, and Angel Jewelers.
I am grateful for the support you have given me this past six months and I am looking forward to continue working hard and to the best of my ability for the Chamber and the Rancho Cucamonga business community.
I wish you all a healthy, bright, and prosperous 2021.
