Rummage Sale Trailers Open For Donations

Two More Dates to Contribute to 74th Annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale

Leesburg, VA – (September 11, 2012) – The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital will open the trailers for two more Donation Days to support the annual rummage sale.  Donations will be collected on Saturday, September 22 and Saturday, October 6 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 guide traffic to the designated trailers.

All donations received will be offered for sale at the 74th Annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale on Friday, October 19 and Saturday, October 20, 2012 at Morven Park – Tutt Lane entrance, 41793 Tutt Lane (off Route 15) in Leesburg, VA.

“We always need furniture and this year we especially need linens and blankets, coats and winter clothing, even children’s clothing,” said Sue Clewis, co-chairman of the event.  “This community has always risen to the challenge and with the struggling economy many families need to make the budget stretch farther.  If everyone could help by bringing just one or two bags of winter clothing, we could really make a difference for the thousands who rely on the sale each year.”

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 recently 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.
