Hear About Two Women Who Influenced Mid-Century America and Beyond
Assistance League's Literary Luncheon To Feature Discussion of Two Important Women

Assistance League of Northern Virginia’s spring luncheon is just three months away and it continues to add elements to make the event even more enticing. On April 28, the organization will present A Literary Luncheon and Fundraiser at the Chantilly National Golf and Country Club. The featured authors – Judith Pearson and Christopher Gorham – will discuss their recent biographies of two women who had a significant impact on mid-century America and beyond. A fireside chat will follow where guests can ask them questions. The luncheon program runs from noon to 2:30 pm, and guests can arrive starting at 11 am to register, meet the authors, buy their books and have them signed, and review and bid on the fabulous silent auction items.
The live auction opportunities include trips for two to Dublin, Tuscany, and Costa Rica, and the African safari that was so popular at last year’s luncheon. In addition, the luncheon will include an array of silent auction items, including certificates for home contractors, weekend getaways, and jewelers. Assistance League’s dedicated members are working diligently to ensure this event is even more spectacular than last year’s and continue to find appealing items.
Proceeds from this event will support Assistance League’s many philanthropic programs that feed, clothe, and comfort elementary school students. The nonprofit receives no federal, state or local funding and raises all the money needed for those programs through various fundraisers, especially this Luncheon.
