Woodlawn Ruritan Club

The Next Exciting Event is the Spring Bazaar!

Due to the fact that the Ruritan Club is no longer allowed to cook in the school cafeteria, the bazaar has been moved to the VFW in Hillsville, VA.

This is a sad day when the school is no longer available for use by a community organization as beneficial as the Ruritan Club. The school has a long-standing relationship with the Ruritan Club that goes back over 30 years. That relationship is now severed.

We appreciate the VFW welcoming this event in their building.
