By Larry Atseff

The Oak Brook Chapter, Infant Welfare Society (IWS) Auxiliary, hosted over 500 guests for its Mistletoe Medley 50th Anniversary Celebration, “Hearts of Gold,” on November 29th at the Drury Lane Theatre. It was a wonderful occasion and a perfect opportunity to celebrate a remarkable milestone. The festive event included a holiday gift boutique featuring distinctive merchandise, raffles, and a fashion show by Zzazz Productions. A welcome and familiar presence at the event, Allison Rosati served as Master of Ceremonies. During her comments at the podium, Allison announced an exciting fundraising initiative in conjunction with the “Hearts of Gold” fundraiser. Oakbrook Center, which is marking its 60th anniversary, is sponsoring a “Giving Week” from December 10-17, during which participating retailers will donate a percentage of their sales to the Chapter’s fundraiser.
