For years the Inn opened its doors for a Christmas party for the town, and nowadays donates those funds to help support local fund raisers.
As recently as last month, the Inn at Little Washington held a tea and cooking classes— during the Christmas in Little Washington celebration— as a fundraiser for thg Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community.
The Inn also supports the county 4-H club in several ways.
“Patrick loves the kids, he adores them. So does Reinhardt,” said Hazel ZinnDay, who for five years was the 4-H program support technician for the county 4-H.
Mrs. Zinn-Day said that Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Lynch have provided cooking classes and etiquette lessons at the Inn for the 4-H club over the years.
Ten children went to the Inn to learn how to make omelets “at Pat’s stove,” recalled Mrs. Zinn-Day.
Another time a group of five- to eight-year-olds went into the Inn’s main dining room for etiquette lessons, and to learn table manners.
“They learned what everything was used for, and what to do if you eat something you don’t like,” said Mrs. Zinn-Day, who worked at the inn as a waitress from 1982-1987.
In those days, Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Lynch would provide dinner every day as a neighborly gesture for their long-time neighbor, the late Mattie Ball Fletcher.
Mrs. Zinn-Day was one of the waitresses who served her the meal on a silver tray with a half-carafe of red wine.
“Some of the skills I learned there I still carry with me today, and now teach my kids,” said Mrs. Zinn-Day.
“Patrick and Reinhardt are the most dedicated people I have ever known in my life,” she said. “I think it overflows into the well-being of the community.”
