 Message from Board Chair  Bob Herbst
  
 | 
 It's now April and we are 4 months into my year long tenure as Board Chair of the Chamber. So far so good. In March we hosted our first major Signature event of the year, the State of the City Dinner, and it was a resounding success, setting new records for attendance, sponsorship, and revenue. The State of the City Dinner is a night to celebrate our partnership with the City of San Rafael, review our accomplishments, and recognize our outstanding Chamber businesses and volunteers.

Space reservations due by May 13
 
 This summer, Marin County residents can receive a no-cost energy and water conservation service from Rising Sun Energy Center, thanks to partnerships with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and others. PG&E urges all Californians to help stop dig-ins by making a free call to 811 at least two working days before beginning a digging project.
