Thank you and thank you again to the area businesses that will make the Nordonia Hills Chamber of Commerce Annual Jingle Mix & Mingle Holiday Party such a success. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 10, 5-8:00 pm. The Greenwood Village Community Center is the PERFECT place for such a festive event. The committee, under the leadership of April Hanus (Panda Promotions) has asked our member restaurants and business members to “show the LOVE” by donating refreshments for the party, non-perishable foods for the Emergency Assistance Center and items for the Pick-a-Prize Raffle and Tower of Holiday Cheer. Corporate food donations to date include goodies from Stan’s Bakery, Spennato’s, Chick-fil-A Macedonia, Reinecker’s Bakery, 7 to 7 Mediterranean Eatery and Compadres Mexican Restaurant. We ask attendees to bring an appetizer to share.
Admission is $10 or $5 plus 5 canned foods. All non-perishable foods will be donated to the Emergency Assistance Center and make a happier holiday for the growing list of those in need in our community. Panda Promotions is our wine and pop sponsor this year. Please feel free to bring beer if that’s what you like. Food and raffle donations are always welcome. Just let us know by email or by calling the Chamber Office at 330-467-8956. All Nordonia Hills business people – not just Chamber members – are invited (no children please).
Sponsorships are still available at the $250, $100, $50 and $25 level. The $250 and $100 levels give you a reserved table for your crew. Thank you to Ridgway Insurance, Panda Promotions, Margie Valenti – RE/MAX Crossroads, Merit Dental Macedonia and Ferfolia Funeral Home for being our first $100 Sleigh Bell sponsors. Unique LED Products has signed up to be a Jingle Bell Sponsor, with Northfield HealthMarkets as a Silver Bell sponsor.
Keep a look out for a really ugly holiday sweater! Yep –we’re having the 3rd Annual Ugly Holiday Sweater Contest! The winner will receive a trophy donated by Panda Promotions.
The Pick-a-Prize Raffle is always great fun. Raffle items – minimum value of $50 please – are still being accepted in the Chamber office. Gift baskets and certificates for products and services are very much appreciated. If you’d like to donate, please call the Chamber Office at 330-467-8956 or just drop them off at the office.
And let us help you with YOUR holiday entertaining! Our Tower of Holiday Cheer will be raffled off along with the other prizes and floral centerpieces (donated by Petal Place and Northfield Florist). This tower of “spirits” will cover you for the entire holiday season – and then some! Liquor, wine and beer are also being accepted at the chamber office.
So many ways to “show the LOVE” this time of the year. We hope you can join us for an evening of food, fun, raffles and networking! Thank you to the Nordonia Hills area for your support of your Chamber of Commerce and the Emergency Assistance Center.
