Abingdon Ruritan Club

Abingdon Ruritan Club was chartered in September 1956, with 29 members. It has since grown to over 100 members, dedicating their efforts to supporting the community. The building was dedicated several years later on February 27, 1993. It has since hosted hundreds of functions, comprised of fund raisers (including those for the Free Clinic, Humane Society, and others), community uses (such as the Guinea Jubilee, Blood Drives, Achilles Precinct Polling Place), and private uses (including weddings and receptions, birthday parties, and corporate functions). Abingdon Ruritan Club is proud to say that several of our members also serve Ruritan as Officers at the National, District, and Zone levels. This year one of our members, Rose Taylor, serves as Chesapeake District Governor, and Elliott Hogge served as Ruritan's National President in 2013-2014.
