“Literacy Matters” Luncheon with Susan McCorkindale – April 29

DWC’s Annual Spring Luncheon “Literacy Matters” was a delightful gathering of members and friends!

Spring was in the air, facilitated by the gorgeous flower arrangements courtesy of Flower Gallery of Manassas. Guests enjoyed a delicious lunch and the opportunity to interact with representatives from our many community outreaches.

Guest speaker and author Susan McCorkindale had the audience in the palm of her hand, charming them with her wit and humor.

The raffle and silent auction items kept guests busy up to the last minute to bid; the wine pull was a sellout!

The Wine Pull was a great success!

Ms. McCorkindale signed copies of her books as the guests collected their winnings and take-away bags containing…(what else?) a book!

Missed the Annual Spring Luncheon 2017? No worries…look for our major fundraising event again next year in April.
