This month I want to celebrate the entrepreneur. The small business owner who risks their capital to pursue a dream or passion and provide our community a product or service should be supported by all of us. It is a difficult road filled with risks and rewards. The Ramona Chamber of Commerce is here to help...
Community Events
You can view all of the Chamber and Community events on our NEW EVENT CALENDAR. Even better, community members can submit their own events and they'll be reviewed and approved by the Chamber.

We include some updates regularly to ensure that new subscribers are aware of these opportunities:

  • Small Business Stimulus Grant funding is available until it is exhausted, or 2024. Please answer these questions to determine your eligibility.

  • Do you know someone in need of food or other assistance? Please visit our community resources webpage, RamonaResources.com.
As many of you know, our town's historic Christmas tree loses more branches every year and we will need to replace it soon; a new tree will cost about $20,000! Fundraising for a new tree is underway and will continue throughout 2023.

If you would like to contribute, you can name your price: donations can easily be made online (below). If you prefer to pay by phone or check, please contact our office. Many thanks those who have already contributed!

$1,000+ sponsors will be listed on a plaque that will be hung at the tree every year (and on display at the Chamber office the rest of the year).
If you need more information or assistance, please visit our website at www.ramonachamber.com, call us at 760-789-1311, or email our Office Manager, Laura Leeman, at rccstaff@ramonachamber.com.
