Multi-Chamber Mixer benefits Toys For Tots
 
Local author Rich Rostron has coordinated a joint-chamber mixer with the Woodstock, McHenry Area and Chain O’Lakes chambers of commerce for 5-7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 1, at Ethereal Confections (140 Cass Street) in Woodstock.
 
Attendees, those representing area businesses, are asked to bring a gift for a 10-13-year-old boy or girl.
 
“Children of these ages are often lost in the shuffle around Christmas time as those who give to Toys For Tots understandably tend to provide toys for younger children,” said Rostron.
 
Along with benefiting Toys For Tots, the event will provide a holiday setting, in the glow of the holiday-lighted Woodstock Square, where business representatives will have a chance to mingle while enjoying the season.
 
Other sponsors of the event include:
 
Ethereal Confections
Cesaroni’s Café & Deli
JH Events and Flowers
Happe Cookies
Northern Illinois Windows
MD Trains
Shop 3430
Winestock Market & Lounge
Fat Candle Company
 
Rostron is the author of Young Adult novels “The Burning Sea of Iron Bottom Bay” and “The Ghost of Lexington and Concord.”
