Last month I talked about the "refer and earn" program for members of our Chamber.
This month, I wanted to report who is earning and also to encourage all of you to participate! In case you didn't read my April article, and to keep it fresh in your mind, here's a recap of how the program works.
First, let's talk about what qualifies as a referral. A referral is someone that you (as an active Carlsbad Chamber member) know or that you do business with that is currently not a member of the Carlsbad Chamber. The referral is not someone that is already attending a chamber function or someone you meet at a Carlsbad Chamber event. If they are there, that means they are already in our radar. A referral is someone who joins the Chamber! Once a referral is a member your will receive a coupon to use for the prize that you have won for that particular referral which will be required for redemption with an RSVP of at least one week prior to any event, except for Sundowners.
The prizes are:


• First referral: Receive four passes to a Sundowner. These cannot be used when the Carlsbad Chamber does a joint Sundowner with a neighboring chamber. ($20 value)
• Second referral: Attend a First Friday Breakfast for free! RSVP Required. ($30 value)
• Third referral: Receive a marketplace ad in the Carlsbad Business Journal (based upon availability). ($50 value)
• Fourth referral: Receive one ticket to the State of the City Luncheon on August 24, 2012 or $50 credit towards any chamber workshop in 2012. ($50 value)
• Fifth referral: We will deduct $150 from your 2013 membership renewal.


Also, each time one of your referrals joins the Chamber, your name goes into the GRAND PRIZE DRAWING which will be held Dec. 7 at the Annual Volunteer Recognition Awards Breakfast. So far, we have a golf bag with goodies from TaylorMade for the grand prize. Stay tuned for additional items!
Refer five new members and you are basically receiving $350 in valued services and products, which doesn't even include the Grand Prize! So, get busy and start earning! You must be a member in good standing to participate and receive the items listed above and to be in the grand prize drawing.
Congratulations to the following members for their referrals thus far! Carolyn B. Reinmiller is in the lead at this time, with two referrals as of press time.
