Rummage Sale Trailers Open September 14

The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital is officially accepting
donations for the annual rummage sale.  Donations will be collected on
Saturday,
September 14 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Inova Loudoun
Hospital, 44045 Riverside Parkway, Leesburg, VA, and at Inova Loudoun
Medical Campus – Leesburg, 224 Cornwall Street.  Signs will be posted to
direct traffic to the specially designated trailers.  The last Donation
Day before the Rummage Sale will be Saturday, October 5.

All
donations received will be offered for sale at the 75th Annual Ladies
Board Rummage Sale on Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013 at
Morven Park – Tutt Lane entrance, 41793 Tutt Lane (off Route 15) in
Leesburg, VA.

“We are asking for clean and gently used items,”
said Sue Clewis, co-chairman of the event.  “Over the next few months,
we will have about seven tractor trailers filled with fabulous finds.” 
It is the ultimate in bargain hunting and attracts a loyal, growing fan
base each year.  Particularly rare or valuable items are needed for the
Silent Auction held Saturday, October 19.

 Tax receipts are
provided and all the money raised goes to support Ladies Board projects
in the community.  The Ladies Board raises several hundred thousand
dollars each year toward special needs equipment at Inova Loudoun
Hospital and pledged a $1 million for the Cornwall Cares project.  The
Ladies Board awards more than $100,000 in nursing scholarships annually.


The Ladies Board accepts furniture, clothing, books, household
items, linens, lamps, sports equipment, etc., but some items cannot be
accepted, such as mattresses or large appliances.  For more information
on what can be accepted or not, please call 703-771-2985 or visit www.LadiesBoard.org.
