Assistance League of Northern Virginia is excited to announce we have scheduled our first fundraiser luncheon in four years. \u00a0After such a long wait, you know it will be BIG.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, April 30, we are hosting A LITERARY LUNCHEON & FUNDRAISER, at which two award-winning authors \u2013 Sean McFate and Judith Pearson — will discuss their books.\u00a0 Peggy Fox will be the moderator.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all happening at the Springfield Golf & Country Club, 8301 Old Keene Mill Road, Springfield, VA, 22152. \u00a0The luncheon starts at noon, with time beforehand to meet the authors, learn about our philanthropic programs that will benefit from this fundraiser, and preview our live auction items.<\/p>\n
Dr. McFate is a foreign policy expert and professor at Georgetown University whose books reflect his experience and service as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. \u00a0In his latest thriller,\u00a0High Treason<\/em>, the action is non-stop. James Patterson says that Dr. McFate may be the next Tom Clancy \u2013 possibly even better.<\/p>\n Ms. Pearson\u2019s best-known book, \u201cWolves at the Door<\/em>\u2026.\u201d tells the story of Virginia Hall, a spy for the Allies during WWII who escaped Nazi pursuit by walking across the Pyrenees while using her wooden prosthesis.<\/p>\n
