DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

MR. A.J. KEEFE, CAI-GREATER INLAND EMPIRE CHAPTER

Cautious optimism reigns supreme as we progress further into 2021. There are a few great indicators that lead us to believe we are on the right track like Axe Throwing in March 2021 having more attendees than Axe Throwing in January 2020 and our Mini Golf Event having close to 70 players attend as a new event. These outcomes breed optimism along with more positive news such as our golf Tournament with every tee booth sold and 144 golfers in the field.

What a great trajectory for our chapter and reason to be optimistic on our journey to the top. With any journey though you must remain cautious because one false step or gust of wind can take you off the path. Our gusts of wind are coming by way of venues re-opening later than anticipated and the possibility of changing dates or venues. We have come across this with mini golf, multiple expos, our bowling tournament and even our National Conference.

We wanted to let you know that we are always acting in your best interest when confronted with these obstacles. We take multiple things into consideration when searching for a solution such as your schedules, event quality, geographical location, participant attendance, and overall value. This is occurring so much less than last year but nonetheless we have had to reschedule events and were are extremely grateful for the patience you have all provided us. Keep an eye out for the ever changing updated calendar of events!
