The Aldie Ruritan Club was recently lauded for completing 55 years of community service. Mr. Merrel Partlow, an original member of the club chartered in 1952.

Under the guidance of new officers Bud Hamrick – President, John Ellis – Vice President, Norm Levin – Secretary, and returning Treasurer, Wynne Saffer, the club has set an energetic agenda of community service, growing membership, and fund raising.

Once again Aldie Ruritan will present the Allen Gulick Scholarship to an outstanding student of Agriculture from Loudoun County High School. In addition, a new $1000 scholarship will be awarded to a deserving student from Freedom high School.

This summer the folks in Aldie and the surrounding area will be treated to a concert series courtesy of Aldie Ruritan. Plans call for 3 concerts on Sunday afternoons at the pavilion behind the Methodist Church. Local artist Andrew McNight will perform, as well as Amy Sullivan and the Whiskey Darlin's.
