An Invitation from UCC President

Hi Chamber Exec's,

This year we are expanding our Mega Mixer as we partner with The Valley Economic Alliance, VEDC and VICA to also hold The Valley Business Expo '09.

Each Chamber will recieve a "free" table top booth at the Mega Mixer just like before. Our last Mega Mixer brought out over 500 people and we should far exceed that number as we will also have attendees from the Expo! This will be a great opportunity for all of you to showcase your Chamber Valley-wide.

Your members will have the opportunity to participate in the Business Expo & Mega Mixer too, as Sponsors, Exhibitors or as an attendee.  Your members will receive a discounted booth of only $100.00 for the Mega Mixer if they sign up for the Expo also and they will get first preference over those who only want to sign up for the Mega Mixer.  Table tops for the Mega Mixer will be sold at $150.00 on a first come, first serve basis but not until 30 days before the event.  This gives businesses that want to sign up for both the first opportunities. 

Attendees can purchase a Bus Expo/Mega mixer ticket for $15.00 or Mega Mixer only ticket for $10.00.

Please share this info with your members so they don't miss out on this great opportunity to showcase their business.

Please also let me know if you will be participating with a "free" table top booth.

We are glad to be able to offer you and your members this fantastic opportunity---

PANORAMA COASTAL CLEAN UP DAY- September

We participated in the coastal clean-up in Panorama City last September. This project was in collaboration with the Department of Public Works, Council District 6 Tony Cardenas Office, Council District 7 Richard Alarcon, Office of Community Beautification of the Board of Public Works and 39 th Assembly member Felipe Fuentes & Heal the Bay. This event helped educate the students, residents and businesses in Panorama City about their connection to the ocean and their local watershed, regardless of its distance from the beaches. Almost 400 participants came out to manually pick up trash in 44 square blocks of Panorama City which resulted in the collection of 27,000 pounds of litter, the most for any single site in the country, as reported by LA Times. Coastal Cleanup Day definitely raised public awareness about ocean pollution issues & strengthened community ties in Panorama City.

PANORAMA CITY NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL (PCNC)

The purpose of the emerging Panorama City Neighborhood Council (PCNC) is to empower community stakeholders with a grass roots-based forum to address and resolve community issues.Non-profit organizations like the FACCsfv are important providers of jobs and services in Panorama City. Centered on community development and propagation of business interests among entrepreneurs and professionals, the Chamber's active participation and support with the PCNC provides a voice and awareness to our members about business issues, public safety environmental issues, taxation & business regulations within Panorama City area.
