From Jonathan Wolfe:

There was a brief moment this fall, when Covid-19 cases were low and we hadn’t yet heard the word “tripledemic,” that I thought we might have something close to a normal holiday season, for the first time in years. But the last few weeks have changed the picture.

Here are election results. Please be aware some races may be too close to call at this point (see below),

Propositions on the Ballot:

Statewide:

Prop 1: California Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment- Passed (Pasadena Chamber Board too no position)

    Prop 1 guarantees both the right to contraception and the right to an abortion.

Cases: After months of decline, Los Angeles County health officials have reported a sharp increase in the average daily number of new COVID-19 infections, again raising concerns about an impending winter spike in cases.

Friday November 11th is Veterans Day.

The Pasadena's Veterans Day Committee hosts a commemoration on the steps of City Hall (100 North Garfield Avenue in Pasadena) beginning at 10:30am.

This is always a very nice ceremony honoring our veterans.

Promote your business and make important connections and contacts at the Chamber networking lunch. It is also FUN!

The Pasadena Chamber networking lunch and breakfast have been drawing Chamber members and others since we restarted in February. We want to continue these events as they are valuable opportunities for our members and other business people to get together to promote your business, expand your contacts, find and visit with friends and find new customers.

LA County reported 1,187 new cases and 13 deaths from COVID-19 on October 27th. 390 people are hospitalized as a result of COVID-19 in the county. 15,964 new cases were reported in California on Thursday and 148 deaths.

I received three emails yesterday (Thursday) with this heading: EFT Remittance Advice for pasadena-chamber.org - October 27,2022

They each had an htm file to click on. (I did not click.)

Each was addressed to me and came from my email address. Hmmmm.

If you get something similar, especially an unsolicited email from yourself, do not click.
