Hagerty worked tirelessly until he found Rappahannock Cellars willing to work with us on providing wine for our guests. Mike Nelms took time away from his busy car dealership to meet with us to get ideas on what he might speak about, and charmed and moved us with his story of his own hospice experience. Pat’s Floral Designs in Madison had already created lovely table arrangements before we got the word on Friday afternoon that the country club was inaccessible and powerless, and Pat was able to give a few of those arrangements to others over the weekend. Our raffle prize packages were made possible by generous donors as well. Nancy Garrett, Ann Mattingly, and Claire St. Jacques had once again donated great seats for Redskins games for us to raffle. Due to the delay, the two winners will only have three games left to choose from: New Orleans Saints, November 30; Dallas Cowboys, December 14; and Philadelphia Eagles, December 27. Mary Ann Kuhn, one of our Board members and the owner of the Middleton Inn Bed & Breakfast in Washington, donated a night’s stay at that historic bed-and-breakfast. This prize was combined with a generous gift certificate for dinner for two at nearby Blue Rock Inn. We had over 20 artists provide us with a wide variety of artwork for the Art Show and Sale. Charlie Robson rounded up boy scouts to help hang the aforementioned artwork; however, when we moved the date, it was to a date for which his scouts already had camping plans. So Sunithi Gnanadoss volunteered her husband, coordinator of student activities at Woodberry Forest School, to round up some willing helpers. And of course, the planning and implementation would not have been possible without our sponsors! Gold Sponsors ($1,000) – Solutions Recruiting and Capital Assets Financial Silver Sponsors ($500) – Jefferson Homebuilders, Mason Insurance, Anonymous, and Hilary Parker Bronze Sponsors ($250) – Jim Nelson/Scott & Stringfellow, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, Butch Davies & Marty Moon, Kathy and Paul Clements Other – Maloney and Ward Insurance, Anonymous
Whether or not the weather cooperates with any of our scheduled events, we are pleased and proud to have served the community for 20 years … and plan on doing so for many years to come! Holiday Hangers Our nifty new holiday ornaments are available at a store near you through December 15 th ! (Or, you can just call our office and order them over the phone, which you can do any weekday between 8:30 and 4:30, even after December 15 th .) Culpeper County: Cameleer, Ribbon Hallmark, and Culpeper Pharmacy Fauquier County: Town Duck, G. Whillikers Toys & Gifts, and Pennyante Madison County: Pat’s Floral Designs Orange County: Gordonsville Pharmacy and Grymes Pharmacy Rappahannock County: Horse & Hound The ornaments are $8 each; since we’re a 501(c)3 organization, $5 of that is tax-deductible for you (for those of you unfamiliar with the complexity of federal regulations, the whole amount isn’t deductible as it is with an outright donation of money because you’re actually receiving something tangible, so you have to deduct the item cost). They’re brass ovals with white and teal enamel artwork, and come complete with a loop for hanging. We may have added a few locations by the time you receive this newsletter, so check out our web site at www.hotr.org for updates! Pennies Earned
