NOV 2016 – President’s Article by Jill Riley

/in /by

Redlands Chamber of Commerce Jill Riley President

As my term as president of the chamber is coming to an end, I’ve been reflecting on all that has been accomplished this past year. I have had the pleasure of meeting several new people and have seen businesses that are growing in Redlands.

I strongly believe in the Redlands Chamber mission. It represents how the chamber supports local businesses and the community at large. I have witnessed first-hand the various opportunities that have been provided to chamber members and seen how many take advantage. I hope to see more Chamber members benefiting from the services the Chamber provides in the future.

Although my term is almost up, I will still be on the board and look forward to participating in future chamber events for years to come. I am thankful for having the opportunity to be involved in such a strong business organization. I am also grateful to my family and friends who have supported me throughout my term.

I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

NOV 2016 – Charley spreads the word about the Dog Jog

/in /by

2-charleyBy, Charley

Finally!!! I get my own By-line in a paper! It’s about time the Chamber allowed me to share a few things, I’ve actually got a lot to say!

My friends and I are so thrilled about the most exciting, the most electrifying, the most sensational event to come to Redlands almost EVER! It’s the Dog Jog, on November 5th, designed specifically for us dogs. I mean really who declared the rule that there are “no dogs allowed” at all these races all over the region.  After all we are the ones that go out with our athlete owners and train in preparation for all those races; l we’re the ones that endure those early morning runs, those late evening trots, even those mid-day scorchers, just so our two legged pals can shave a little off their best time. Then when it’s race time… we get left home.  Well not anymore, this time we can invite our masters to join US at the 5K race on Saturday, November 5th. Yep I said a 5K…and the best part we don’t even have to run.. we can walk, jog, trot, meander, stroll, heck we can even travel in a wagon or a stroller.

You know how at all these other races the humans get really good stuff in their swag bags… at the Dog Jog it’s all for us. We get a brand new bandana, a brand new stuffed toy, hopefully one with a squeaker in it to drive our family crazy, a dog treat at the end of the race AND a dog tag that we can wear on our collars, that proves we finished the race. Our humans get an official T-shirt but we get the really good stuff.

So many businesses in Redlands thought this kind of race was such a good idea that they sponsored it, Alta Vista Credit Union, Barich & Associates, All Four Paws Pet Care, SCE, Super 8 Motel, Allstate Insurance – Todd Underwood, Mountain West Financial, Pacific Specialty Insurance, Storage West, Redlands Sewing Center and Office Solutions. I’m going to insist that my family shop at these places for their products and services, what a bunch of really great guys.

So come on….. join me and hundreds of my closest friends from the dog park, the neighborhood and the vets offices, on Saturday, November 5th, 8:00AM in downtown Redlands, south side of the mall.  Did I tell you we’ll actually be in the streets racing, no cars!

It’s not too late to sign up. Call the folks at the chamber office at 793-2546. I can probably get you a discount if you drop my name. By the way, a portion of the proceeds will go to the Redlands Animal Shelter so they can continue to help all my friends looking for a home.

See you on the 5th.

We encourage all Redlands voters to thoroughly review campaign material, to make an informed decision November 8th.”

/in /by

Redlands Chamber of Commerce Jill Riley President

October is going to be busy and full of activities and events, in Redlands.

I will be participating in the Believe Walk October 2nd, in memory of my mom who passed away from multiple myeloma in 2012. I will also be walking for my sister-in-law who fought stage 4 ovarian cancer and has been cancer free for 5 years. We all know someone who has or will fight the battle against cancer, let’s hope the cures are on our doorsteps. The Redlands Chamber of Commerce will have a California Energy Upgrade booth at the event. Please stop by and learn about all the great ways to save energy.

On October 31st downtown Redlands businesses will be participating in the annual trick or treat event. I look forward to taking my grandson again this year. We plan to make a night of it and have dinner at one of our extraordinary restaurants downtown.

The Redlands Chamber Dog Jog/Run is coming up on November 5th. I would like to thank the Redlands Sewing Center for their generous donation of dog bandanas. The dogs are going to be styling with these adorable bandanas. Hope everyone has a great month and I look forward to seeing some of you at these events.
