Description
Thank you for your continual support of our Chamber. 2016 was an unbelievable year - with many things to celebrate and reflect back on. However, the year was not without its challenges.
In early October, our Chamber offices experienced major damage due to a sewer back up well in excess of our insurance coverage limits thus causing financial hardship upon our organization. Additionally, the sewer connection needs complete overhauling.
After months of working through remodeling repairs, and interruptions, we are back to near 100%. We apologize for any inconvenience.
There is still a major portion which entails a new connection to the city sewer line. Also during the year, we had an inspector analyze our building and we have identified some major work that must be complete to bring us up to ADA compliance. As the voice of business, we must be the example and make these changes immediately or face potential liability of lawsuits from ADA special interest groups. The challenge we face is a significant cash shortfall overall, as a result of the sewer damage and ADA issues combined.
In light of these challenges, we are appealing to our CORONA Chamber friends and business leaders to help us underwrite these critical capital repairs with a one-time financial contribution that will enable us to proceed with mitigation of these critical issues as soon as possible.
The timing of these repairs are critical, so we ask that all contributions be received during the first quarter of 2017. Your donation will be acknowledges (unless you wish to stay anonymous) in our printed publication, Corona Business News. Naming opportunities will be considered.
Again, thank you for your continual support and we wish you much success in 2017.
