Happy Holidays from your Ramona Chamber of Commerce!

For yesterday's LIVE Lunch with the Chamber, our Executive Director, Joe Stupar, was on site at VFW 3783 with Alexis Henshaw.
We learned more about lots of exciting happenings at the VFW - this beautiful new mural, their solar installation project (and accompanying sponsorship opportunities), and a fabulous New Year's Eve dinner they are offering for only $35.

Fundraiser for Ramona's New Christmas Tree! |
|
As many of you know, our town's Christmas tree has seen better days! We lose more branches every year and we will need to replace it very soon.
A new tree that is large and sturdy enough will cost about $20,000. We started fundraising earlier this year and will continue to raise funds year-round.
Can you help? No amount is too small; you can name your price! Many thanks to our community members and businesses who have already donated—we are so appreciative!
Donations can easily be made online; if you prefer to pay by phone or send us a check, please contact our office.
