Season’s Greetings All,
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. Despite the challenges this pandemic has presented to all of us, we have found ways to stay connected and express our love and support for one another.
Some of you are probably aware of the Video Contest Campaign initiated by the Chamber on November 16th. The campaign goes until December 16th and it was created with the purpose of bringing awareness to the importance of supporting our local business community. Under our #shoprc theme, local business owners participate by creating and providing the Chamber with a video of their business. On Dec 23rd, four lucky winners will receive a $250 grant and a one year complementary Chamber membership. I invite you all to participate and to share this information with your business owner friends in Rancho Cucamonga. It is fundamental to bringing awareness to the impact that supporting our local businesses has in strengthening our local economy. I encourage you all to participate. For more information please visit the Chamber’s website.
As the end of the year quickly approaches, you are probably reflecting on all of the things that have impacted your life this past year. I respectfully would like to encourage you to remain hopeful and focus on the blessings you have received. I would like to take it a little bit further and Challenge you to, with a caring and giving spirit, consider doing an act of kindness. What better way to end this year than coming together and discovering the impact we can make in the life of someone in need when we care enough, come together and give back.
Today, December 1st, is Giving Tuesday. This is a campaign that invites people from all over the world to unite and give back. What a wonderful opportunity to get involved and give back. The Chamber is proud to have amongst its members remarkable organizations that are committed to bringing aid and resources to those in need. Some that come to mind are Children’s Fund, National Core / Hope Through Housing, Inland Empire United Way, House of Ruth, OPARC, Operation Community Cares, RC Professional Firefighters, Trinity Youth Services, and The Alzheimer’s Association. Please consider supporting their efforts.
Now, have you given any thought to your New Year’s Resolutions? You might be considering continuing your education or setting your 2021 financial goals. Say no more! Check out Chaffey College, University of Redlands or Cambridge College. All are excellent choices to continue your educational journey.

From my family to yours and on behalf of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, our Executive Director and our Membership Coordinator, we send you our wishes of Health, Peace, and Prosperity this Holiday Season.
