Area Chambers Gather This Afternoon at Pacific Air Museum

Eleven area Chambers of Commerce, from Bodega Bay to Windsor, are gathering at the Pacific Coast Air Museum this afternoon for the "Chamberee," a fundraiser for the air museum.

Chamber booths will have beverages and foods provided by local merchants during the event, which begins at 4 p.m. and continues until 7. Chamber members and their guests will follow a “Flight Plan” that leads them to each participating Chamber’s booth, and their completed Flight Plan enters them into a raffle prize drawing. The prizes are gift baskets valued at $200 and representative of each Chambers’ area of Sonoma County.

Participating chambers include both and Cotati, as well as Bodega Bay, Cloverdale, , Geyserville, Hispanic, Mark West, North Bay Black, Russian River, Sebastopol and Windsor chambers of commerce.

Special guests will include Supervisor Mike McGuire. Pacific Coast Air Museum Executive Director Dave Pinsky will conduct personalized tours of the planned exhibit and aircraft at 5:15 pm and 6:15 pm for Chamberee attendees. A $5 donation is requested.

The Pacific Coast Air Museum has the honor of being the home of the first aircraft to respond to the World Trade Center attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001. Proceeds from this event go to the F-15 Eagle "First Responder" historic and educational exhibit.

The Pacific Coast Air Museum is located at 2230 Becker Blvd., next to the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport.
