At this time of year and all the time the Hostess House is thankful for the generosity of its members and patrons.

However, as with all older homes it is in constant need of maintenance and refurbishing. So if you are thinking of where to share end of the year donations and giving; look no further than a local treasure...The Wilson-Vaughan Hostess House.

At this time we are seeking funding to replace the first floor carpeting and repair the walls and paint in several of our rooms.

Anything would be appreciated and Happy Holidays.

The Wilson-Vaughan Hostess House Executive Board
