pril 22 was a beautiful day at the SeaCliff Country Club private golf course in Huntington Beach, and the 100 golfers who came out to support the Paramount Chamber of Commerce at our Annual Golf Classic had a great time, ate great food, won great prizes and made this, the Chamber’s biggest fundraising event of the year, a great success. We’re very grateful to our returning major sponsor Carlton Forge Works and our other generous sponsors shown below, as well as our invaluable vendors and volunteers. Four local food businesses (see names below) provided “tasting tees” along the way to keep our golfers fortified. The money we raised from the Golf Classic will make Chamber of Commerce memberships more affordable to local businesses and will help the Chamber keep providing so many valuable services—including our Business Resource Center, free business counseling at the Chamber Office by the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Pulse Beat, our local Business Directory, access to referrals and numerous networking and educational events each year. All these Chamber connections help foster cooperation and collaboration and create a friendly atmosphere that makes Paramount a model city in which to live, work and do business. Brenda Olmos of AppleCare Medical Management commented: “It was great to see the business community coming together again to network and support the Chamber golf tournament.” Congratulations to all our skilled and lucky prize winners, and we hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day!
