The Chamber Maids, a women’s auxiliary group of the Big Bear Chamber of Commerce, held their annual donation luncheon last Wednesday at Northwoods Resort. This year the Chamber Maids donated over $6,000 to various local organizations including the American Association of University Women Tek Trek, Big Bear Search and Rescue, Bear Valley Hospital Auxiliary, Moonridge Animal Park, Chautauqua High School, Rotary Club of Big Bear Valley 4th of July fireworks show, Bear Valley Meals on Wheels, Civil Air Patrol, and the Big Bear Chamber of Commerce. Every year the group of over 65 women raises thousands of dollars for the community and Chamber. The Chambermaids also donate thousands of hours to local organizations and events. According to Sara Russ, CEO of the Big Bear Chamber of Commerce, “without them, the Chamber would not exist”.
