The Top of Virginia Regional Chamber will host a Business and Breakfast from 7:30 to 9 a.m., Tuesday at The Willows at Meadow Branch, 1881 Harvest Drive, Winchester.

All chamber members and prospective members are welcome to attend. Bring business cards for networking and door prizes.

Exclusively Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa is collecting donations to support the American Red Cross’s relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Sandy. For the remainder of the month, donors can make a contribution online by visiting exclusivelyfaces.com or bring a check to the office at 2055 Valley Ave. in Winchester.

Patient Care Coordinator Jaimie Wilkins says: “We chose to get involved, because Dr. (Matthew) Karen is originally from the area impacted by the storm. We are in the business of helping people look and feel better; these donations offer the same mission, just in a different way.”

In its role as an advocate for local businesses, each year the Top of Virginia Regional Chamberseeks to recognize those businesses who have made an impact on our region at the annual awards dinner on Jan. 25. Businesses that have created jobs and business opportunities in the area and contributed to our community through volunteer or financial support, that have overcome challenges through creative thinking and action and that have demonstrated significant growth should be recognized as positive role models for business success. Above all, those businesses that have accomplished all this through a high degree of ethics and integrity should be acknowledged as the leaders that they are.

The award winners will be nominated and chosen by their peers.

Chamber members are invited to participate in the process by nominating an outstanding business or individual to be considered for an award.

Make a nomination by simply completing the nomination form on regionalchamber.biz. Forms may also be picked up at the chamber office located at 407 S. Loudoun St. in Winchester.

Completed forms must be received at the chamber offices no later than Nov. 30.
