Participants at last month's Media Chowder party.

Media Chowder's 3rd Annual 'Drink for the Tots' Holiday Party! takes place Thursday, Dec. 15, starting at 6:30 p.m. As usual, it's at Sidney's Bar & Grille, 20 Sidney St., Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Mingle with hundreds of other media and PR professionals throughout Boston, share some drinks and good times, and drop off a toy for needy children who live in God-forsaken places like Brockton or Chelsea. Anyone who arrives with one toy (must still be in its original packaging) receives one free drink ticket. Anyone who thinks this is a joke, please see the lead story in the Globe for Nov. 25, which basically says even in Boston things are pretty sucky and we need to help. Toys will go to the Salvation Army, who presumably know what to do with these things.

As always, Media Chowder is free and open to anyone in the writing, reporting, editing, PR or communications fields. Show up! Bring a friend!

From our friends at Media Chowder

Yes folks, it's that time of year again — a time to help the less fortunate while getting intoxicated. Our 3rd annual Booze & Foods Drive will take place on Thursday, Nov. 17, from 6:30 to 9 pm at Sidney's Bar & Grille in Cambridge as usual.

The concept is simple: for every item of canned food you bring for donation to the Cambridge Food Bank, you get one free drink. You also get to network with various other Boston-area writers, reporters, editors & other folks in the communication fields, and perhaps can drum up some business for yourself.

As always, free and open to all in the writing, reporting, editing, PR, broadcasting & other communications fields. Show up! Attend or die!
