Donation Day is Saturday, August 14th, for the Ladies Board Rummage Sale

The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital is officially accepting donations for its Annual Rummage Sale.  Donations will be collected on Saturday, August 14 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m at:

• Inova Loudoun Hospital, 44045 Riverside Parkway, Leesburg
• Inova Loudoun-Leesburg, 224 Cornwall Street, Leesburg

Signs will be posted to direct traffic to the specially designated trailers.

All donations received will be offered for sale at the 72nd Annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale on Friday, Oct. 15 and Saturday, Oct. 16 at Morven Park Equestrian Center, 41793 Tutt Lane (off Route 15) in Leesburg, VA.

“This is our 72nd year and what a great way to recycle,” said Sue Clewis, co-chairman of the event.  “The rummage sale will have about six tractor trailers full of fabulous finds.  It takes us a week to set everything up.”  It is the ultimate in bargain hunting and attracts a loyal, growing fan base each year. 

If you have donations to give before August 14th, just call 703-771-2985 and leave a message.  A volunteer will return your call to arrange an earlier drop off.

The first Donation Day in 1912 asked people to bring some donation, no matter how small or how large, including money, furniture, pictures, sheets, towels, pillow cases, a pound of tea, other groceries, eggs, vegetables, china, etc.  While the perishables aren’t accepted, unusual items are welcome.   Particularly rare or valuable items are needed for the Silent Auction department.

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 awards more than $100,000 in nursing scholarships each year. 

The sale 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.
