Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce

The leader in youth homicides, 2015. One hundred years ago the greed in Monterey destroyed the bay. It’s a beautiful city by the bay with businesses and individuals soooooooooooooooooo awful and greedy, there is no bottom to business lauded by the community as long as a small handful of people can reap rewards at other’s demise. An economic death chamber.

We love being a member of the MPCC. It’s been really good for our business. It’s a great way to get to know the business community and for the community to know your business. Plus, the events are fun!

Attended the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce dinner last night at the Conference Center. It was a really nice and well organized event which was a salute to the businesses of the year in various categories. They had a fantastic silent auction with some really cool autographed stuff — for example, a guitar signed by Keith Richards and Roger Daltrey, a picture signed by Mohammed Ali and Joe Frasier amongst various other items. Cool tables each decorated in a different theme. Our table’s theme was «COWBOY» — each person had a bottle of wine to take home, a coffee cup, a great polo and lots of other goodies. There were really really pretty centerpieces — the person who had a sticker inside their program got to take home the centerpiece (that’d be me!!).
Ventana provided a red syrah for the evening which was nice and the food was actually pretty okay — I choice a salmon for dinner which was A-​OKAY. My boss had the short ribs (we always do halfsies) his was a little dry. Dessert was a tiramisu I think. I didn’t eat it because I had reached my sugar limit for the day.
All in all a nice and well attended event.

As a past board member, I must say that the Chamber is a great way to be involved in the community, and to get advocacy for your business. I recommend for all to get involved if you are able, and to enjoy the benefits of being a member. The best way to get results is to be involved.
