Lake Anna sparkled for the Fourth of July.  However, we like to get a head start so had them the evening before, on Saturday, July 3rd.  Folks planning on viewing them headed towards Dike #2 by boat and make sure they were there before 9:00.  The fun began shortly after. You had to be sure to allow plenty of time to get there as there were plenty of folks out on the water seeking a great spot to watch the fireworks.  There is absolutely nothing like being on the lake and seeing the fireworks up in that great, big, dark, dark sky.  The lights from all of the boats and the home...

Yesterday I got another glimpse of the "skyscraper" currently under construction on the shores of Lake Anna. Even though it was cloudy, when I saw the progress it was proof that that there's always a ray of sunshine.

Please joint us for teaYou are invited to a very special Tea Party. Yes, it includes everything a great tea party normally has….tea, a large selection of tasty treats, nice people, beautiful decorations and entertainment. There will even be a silent auction of unique and desirable items. But it is much more than that.

This Tea Party is the only fund raiser for the Louisa Home Delivered Meals Program. “Meals on Wheels“, which provides 64 Louisa residents with a meal a day, often the only one they will have.

Eleven volunteers deliver the meals, along with milk and Ensure if needed. Participants are mainly home bound, living alone and/or in financial need. There is always a waiting list for this program since there is not enough money to pay for all residents in need.

Funding for this program comes through Jefferson Board on Aging and the Louisa Board of Supervisors but is also dependent on donations. So by attending the Tea Party, you will have a wonderful time and help provide your fellow citizens with their meal for the day.

The Tea Party will be held at the Betty Queen Center on Fri. June 20 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Reservations are nice but not required. The $8 ticket will help this program continue.

If you would like to donate to this program but cannot attend the Tea Party or want to reserve a spot, call Leslie at 540-967-4435.

Donations are also needed for the silent auction. Please help by donating baked goodies or a treasure you no longer want. Every bit will help provide the hungry with a meal.

I would like to thank Gail Martin for sharing
this information with me.
If there is any news that you would like to share
please let me know and, if appropriate,
I will be more than happy to post it here.
