City of San Clemente has to offer
which is a family oriented, beach
community lifestyle supported by
a backbone of San Clemente based
businesses.
All sponsors, like the surfers, must
have a location in the City of San
Clemente. This event was a terrific opportunity for sponsors to
promote products and services in a
family-friendly, day-long event with
approximately 200 San Clemente
participants and their families.

Congratulation!! Special thanks to
all those that participated – you are
all to be commended for your dedication to the sport of surfing!
Chamber Honors Pillars
of the Community
Someone in the community deserves to be recognized for their
contributions. It could be a neighbor, a friend, a mentor or
even a relative. Many selfless acts of volunteerism, dedication
or bravery under duress go unnoticed. This is a chance to give
those people the recognition they deserve from the community,
which has benefited from their actions. Below are the awards,
which will be presented at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting of
Members, Installation of Officers and Award Ceremony held at
the Bella Collina Towne & Golf Club on Thursday, February 18,
2016. This is your chance to help the unsung heroes of our city
get the appreciation they merit.
