Chamber News
To Our Valued Members
I would like to dedicate this column to the Chamber members and volunteers who go
above and beyond the call of duty. As a non profit organization with a small staff, we are so grateful and appreciative of the extra time given by our members. This is especially true during our major events. We really couldn’t accomplish all that we do without their support and participation. More recently, we had our June Fine Arts Faire. Along with that, we have the upcoming Aloha Golf tournament just around the corner on July 26th. I would like to mention a few of the exceptional people who regularly volunteer. Please know that there are many other things they could be doing instead of volunteering at the Chamber. That is why they are HEROS to us. The next time you see them, please say thank you for the gift of their time and service:
Joe Buenavista with Merrill Lynch who has chaired the Golf Tournament for 4 years. His leadership continues to make it the best it can be.
Chris and Jim Edlund with Christe James Fine Jewelry Works. They continuously give of their time; donate raffle prizes as well as the beverage garden fence.
Lastly, thank you to the Basil Leaf and Tower Grille restaurants for their support with the June Fine Arts Faire. Excellent food with community minded owners.
I look forward to seeing you at the next Chamber event. Together, we can make a difference.

Kick Off To Summer
Dear Members,
What a kick- off to summer! The incredible changing weather and lots of exciting Chamber activities. This year has been amazing for Chamber sponsored social
networking. Keep on coming!
Perhaps the most memorable event was our “Farewell to Charlotte Mills” open house. I think everyone in Danville stopped by to say good bye. She is missed by Board, Staff and Members alike. Soon after was Lori Sato’s “Successful Strategies that Empower Women in Business” at Pascal’s. I understand it was quite informative. (since it was for women only, I wasn’t allowed to attend…..)
What a fun mixer we had at Patelco, hosted by Toni Sciaky with incredible food from Tower Grille served by Gordon. A wonderful networking event. The Danville Fine Arts Faire was beautiful and what a great way to show off our Town as well and bring others to our community to shop. How else could we bring in 20-30,000 people to our downtown?
Next, our Golf “pro”, Joe Buenavista is doing a swinging job leading the “Aloha Golf Classic” Committee. Larry Marx, Diablo Country Club Manager hosted a terrific luncheon for the committee. We are getting ready for another terrific tournament on July 26th. The list of players is filling up fast so if you haven’t registered or secured a sponsorship, you need to act fast. Also, we have a lot of opportunities for non golfer participation for our members. Just call the Chamber for more information.
Please visit our website www.danvilleareachamber.com or call our office for more details on all of our news.
The Board and I look forward to helping you “Maximize Your Membership.”

I have been a member of the Danville Chamber of Commerce for 8 years, the past 5 serving on the Board of Directors. Danville is such a great place to live and do business. I have found the more that I participate in the Chamber, the more I receive in return.
At Diablo Country Club we pride ourselves on great service to our members. It is also very rewarding to serve our local community. We host many local charity events and fund-raisers and are particularly proud of our work and support of local schools. If we may ever be of service to any of our local Chamber members and residents, please contact us.
It would be our pleasure!
My wife Lisa and I, along with our five children, have been a part of the Danville community for the past 17 years and we look forward to many more!
