Leedy fundraiser September 13

Leedy Grange members have big dreams of remodeling our kitchen and dining rooms to better serve the community. We are planning to have monthly community dinners (with movies!) as early as this fall. Additionally, it will better serve the community groups who rent the hall (see leedygrange.org/rental.html).

The kitchen really needs to be expanded and updated!

The cabinets, which probably date back to 1903 when the building was erected, are cute but not very efficient. In addition, we need a range hood and other enhancements. We’ll be the recipient of a new-to-us refrigerator and dishwasher thanks to another non-profit that is closing their office. But what we really want to do is expand the kitchen to encompass the entire north section of the building, creating a new entry where the porch is, and eliminating the leaky closet that used to be the outhouse!

To this end, we invite everyone to “Virginia’s Fundraising Birthday Bash” on Friday, September 13. I was born on Friday the 13th (explains a lot, huh?) and it only comes around every seven years, so I’m celebrating with (hopefully) live music and dancing (lessons from Impressions Dance Club), food and fun for everyone. Tickets will be $10 and will be available online in a couple of weeks, and also will be on sale at the door.

We’re still looking for a band, so if you have one, or know of one who can play a variety of styles to get people dancing, let me know.

And if you’re an architect or designer who’d be interested in donating your skills to help make the remodeling project happen, contact me!

More details will be announced on our Facebook page as they get firmed up, so “like” us if you want to be in the loop. And we’ll have the complete story in the September issue of the News.
