The Town of Leesburg and Loudoun County have begun a new tradition: Exchanging gifts each year.

Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk presented County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) with a set of coasters and a writing tablet on behalf of the town; Randall presented Burk with a decorative dish.

According to Randall’s Chief of Staff Jeanine Arnett, the county Arts Commission has begun cataloguing all gifts received by the county, and plans to create a traveling exhibit.

It’s that time of the year when we give thanks and reflect on the year that was. And for so many in Loudoun County—one of the nation’s wealthiest, there’s much to be thankful for. We will cook our turkeys and stuffing and welcome family and friends to our homes. In this same community, we have kids not dining with families or friends. Instead, they will be feeling thankful for a free meal only to then sleep on the streets, in their cars, in stairwells, on rooftops, hotels or in tents.
