Photo Gallery: Chicago Chapter Holiday Luncheon Collects Toys For Tots



75 guests attended NAFA's Chicago Chapter Holiday Luncheon, held at Maggiano’s in Schaumburg, IL on December 4. The Chapter took in tasty Italian food, plenty of toys for the Toys For Tots program, and presented a donation to Salute Inc., a charitable organization that provides assistance to members of the armed forces.



Making the most of the holiday spirit, attendees graciously donated gifts for underprivileged children in the Toys For Tots campaign, sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps. Six large containers were filled to the brim thanks to their generosity.
