Hello Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce fellow members and community friends,
I truly hope that you had a Happy Easter.
This is one of my favorite times of the year. Nature rejuvenates and gifts us with blooming flowers, greener trees, and warmer temperatures. No wonder this Season is associated with new beginnings and new life.
Also, this April marks a very special milestone for our Chamber. Although there are no records of when the organization was established, we now know when it incorporated. According to county records, the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce was incorporated on April 11th. 1951. This year marks the 70th anniversary of our Chamber. Throughout its history, the Chamber has been dedicating its efforts to promote the local business community and to enhance the quality of life and the economy of Rancho Cucamonga. This has been possible by the strong relationships the Chamber has built and maintains with the City, the members, and the community as a whole and the significant role the Chamber plays supporting and promoting the establishment and growth of our local businesses.
In celebration of this milestone, the Chamber has prepared a series of events spotlighting remarkable and unique people, places, and organizations that make us proud of our All-America City. Our opening event took place on April 1st as we hosted Rancho Cucamonga’s City Mayor, Mr. Dennis Michael. A remarkable leader with a caring heart for the community he serves. Mayor Michael continues to work side by side with City Council and his City team to bring responsible and sustainable progress which has proven to be the catalyst for the successful growth of Rancho Cucamonga. Mayor Michael shared updates of what is happening in our City and also his thoughts and memories of the role our Chamber plays in the community. For details on the Mayor’s talk and all upcoming events please visit the Chambers’ website.
As our county moves closer toward the orange tier and we continue to follow safety regulations, our museums, restaurants, places of worship, and movie theaters, among other establishments, will be able to increase their indoor capacity. Outside events such as concerts and graduation ceremonies will be able to take place. These are very positive signs that we are moving in the right direction but we must remain cautious as the risk of COVID is still among us.
It is exciting to see our local businesses operating at a larger capacity and also to witness the support the community has shown. I encourage you to continue keeping our local businesses in mind as the recovery process will take time, hard work, and determination. Business recovery won’t happen without a key element, community support.
I encourage you all to continue pressing forward, and supporting one another.
Together we continue facing the pandemic and together we will walk the journey to recovery.
Remain Chamber, City, and Community Strong.
