The “spell” of success

Nearly 100 Loudoun business men and women tested their ABC's at the Loudoun Literacy Council's fourth annual Spelling Bee April 26 at Lightfoot Restaurant in Leesburg. The spelling teams competed to raise awareness and money for the Loudoun Literacy Council. Donations will benefit the council's family literacy and adult literacy programs. Congratulations to Hartrex Management Corp. of Aldie, whose team was victorious.
