Announcing Assistance League of Northern Virginia's Annual White House Ornament Fundraiser

The 2016 White House Ornament honoring the administration of Herbert Hoover, our thirty-first president, is inspired by the first fire engine to respond to the 1929 Christmas Eve fire at the White House and the toy trucks presented to children by the Hoovers the following Christmas. The ornament is crafted from shiny brass plated with nickel and 24-karat gold. The red pumper flies the American flag and carries a Christmas tree for delivery to the White House.

Assistance League's 2016 White House Ornament sale will continue throughout the holiday season, while supplies last! Proceeds from the sale of this ornament support Assistance League of Northern Virginia’s community-based children's programs.

To purchase, contact Cindy Burgess: burgessgl@verizon.net or Karen Amster: karenamster@aol.com. Cost per ornament $22.00, plus shipping for mail orders.
