Allstate Insurance agent Marsha Weatherwax will host this month’s Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 16, at the office at 4435 George Washington Memorial Highway, Hayes.

The Business After Hours program offers local business and community leaders the opportunity to network and discuss upcoming events, including the Gloucester Chamber of Commerce’s Wine Festival in September.

The team at Marsha Weatherwax Allstate Insurance Agency will collect items for the Duke Care Closet. Those attending are encouraged to bring back-to-school items. Some of the most needed items include crayons, colored pencils and markers, glue (bottles and sticks), dividers and backpacks, and girls’ and boys’ socks and tennis shoes (boys’ sizes 9-12; girls’ sizes 6-10).

The Gloucester Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours is free for members; $10 for guests. For more information, call the chamber at 804-693-2425....
