Assistance League of Northern Virginia Launches White House Ornament Sale

Proceeds to benefit Operation School Bell programs which touch the lives of 6,000 local children in need.

Assistance League of Northern Virginia's "Annual White House Ornament Sale" has begun. Your $22 purchase will help to transform the lives of children in our community. To order, please email Karen Amster: karenamster@aol.com or Cindy Burgess: burgessgl@verizon.net.

The Official 2017 White House Christmas ornament honors the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served as the thirty-second president of the United States from 1933 to 1945 and his remarkable journey to restore the faith of the American people. The eagle cartouche emblazoned on the speaker’s stand at President Roosevelt’s first inauguration is the inspiration for the main element of the 2017 ornament. The shape of the ornament is reminiscent of the silhouette of a tabletop radio used to listen to the president’s reassuring Fireside Chats. The back of the ornament is the South Portico of the White House.

Cost per ornament $22, plus shipping for mail orders. If paying by check, please remit payment to: Assistance League of Northern Virginia, P.O. Box 209, Herndon, VA 20172.
