Westamerica Bank is scheduled to host the last business mixer for the Middletown Area Business Association (also known as "Middletown Merchants") on Thursday, Nov. 15, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Attendance is free and open to the general public.

However, RSVP'ing is encouraged. It is real encouraging to know who plans to attend before the event actually takes place. To RSVP to the event, visit www.squidoo.com/MABA and follow the instructions.

This event comes on the heels of a very successful promotion of the Hidden Valley Community Church's 17th annual Harvest Party, which drew endorsements from around the world.

"Christmas in Middletown" will be here Dec. 1. By clicking on the RSVP link for the business mixer, you can also RSVP to the upcoming Christmas festival as well. Both events are not to be missed and well worth your time.
