Orinda
Vice-President Rick Kattenberg assumed presidency of the Chamber after Keith Miller resigned. "I know I speak for the entire chamber membership when I express my gratitude for Keith Miller's excellent service as president of the Orinda Chamber of Commerce," Kattenberg wrote to Chamber members. "We all wish him the very best and hope that he might be able to one day return to the Chamber. In his absence, we do plan to continue the good work that has always been the hallmark of the Orinda Chamber of Commerce. We're proud of our part in helping to bring Theatre Square back to life, the Restaurant Tour, the Shop Orinda Campaign, the Live at the Orinda Comedy event, our involvement with the annual Orinda Classic Car Show, the Fourth of July celebration and parade, now a Lamorinda event." Kattenburg will not run for president in the future board election to avoid any perceived conflict of interest; his wife Candy has been serving as executive director of the Chamber, a part-time paid position for the past five years.
Save the date for the Hospice Tree Lighting ceremony December 1 at 31 Orinda Way, in the Bank of America parking lot. Every year, the Chamber and Hospice of the East Bay bring local school choirs and Santa together to welcome the holidays.
