Christmas Gift Collections
We are collecting unwrapped gifts for needy children in Leesburg. Please drop off your items to the Post (collection bin under the table as you enter) no later than Dec. 14. Cash is also welcome. We are working with Leesburg Elementary School. If you prefer to adopt a particular child, please look on our board in the hallway by the bathroom for children’s wish lists.
Thanksgiving Baskets
The Auxiliary is collected nonperishable canned goods to be used in Thanksgiving Baskets. Please drop your donations off in the box at the Post.
Baskets will be distributed the week of Thanksgiving.
Purse Auction
Our Purse Auction will be held Nov. 6. If you haven’t been to one in the past, don’t miss it!
Donated purses are stuffed with surprises – jewelry, gift cards, passes to local businesses such as rounds of golf, even cash. Items are placed in the purses in plain envelopes so even the organizers don’t know what a specific purse contains! Everyone who wins a purse is guaranteed to be a winner, as are all of our charities. Proceeds will be divided among our charities.
The entertainer that night is Randy Stanley. The format is that we will auction off purses between Randy’s sets. Great deals all afternoon long.
Members, be sure to bring a guest – or two or three – to the auction!
In the meantime, we are asking members who can assist in collecting donations from Leesburg area businesses to please do so. A letter is available at the post with all the information a potential donor needs. No donation is too small – or too big!
Time to renew
Ladies! It’s time to renew your membership. Stop by the post to grab a renewal form. $35 for the year. You can also download a copy of the renewal form here. Fill it out and mail to the post or drop it off.
Lunch Specials
Served Monday – Friday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Gary, the kitchen manager, is offering new weekday lunch specials, in addition to the regular lunch menu. Specials will be announced Sunday, please check back. We’ll update this post as soon as possible.
There will also be new specials at the Friday night fish fry.
School supplies delivered
A huge thank you to our generous donors for all the school supplies that were collected in the past month. They were delivered to Leesburg Elementary School this week.
Thank you
The bake sale on Sunday was a huge success! Thank you to all who purchased goodies and those who donated to support the Leesburg Food Bank. Thanks to your generosity we raised about $200 (final tally will be available this week)! And thank you to all our talented bakers. We had a great variety of delicious treats.
