Chancellor Bonnie Irwin attended today’s Chamber CA$H MOB at Basically Books on Kilauea Avenue in Hilo.

Whatʻs a Chamber CA$H MOB?? In support of local businesses, each month a group of Hawaiʻi Island Chamber of Commerce members meet at a local member’s business to make purchases to support not only the business but also the overall community.

“I’m rarely available when they do them, but I made today’s at Basically Books and brought some friends!” says Chancellor Irwin, who is a director on the Chamber’s board. “It is a pleasure to turn out to support local businesses!”
