Volunteers Still Needed for 2015 Tour of Homes

by Eleanor Barrineau

The 2015 Virginia-Highland Tour of Homes is fast approaching and we still need volunteers!

In addition to being a festive holiday event, the Tour showcases our neighborhood and is our second-largest fundraiser after Summerfest.

Please show your support for the tour and our neighborhood by signing up for a volunteer shift.  Volunteers will receive two complimentary tickets to the tour.  Volunteers are especially needed for the afternoon shift on Sunday.  You can sign up quickly and easily by going to www.vahitourofhomes.org/volunteer and clicking on the blue button.  We couldn’t put on the Tour without our wonderful volunteers!

This year the Tour Committee has conducted special interviews with the homeowners, so there is lots of interesting information about the homes for docents to use. It’s fun to welcome visitors to the house and give them little tidbits of information about what they are seeing.

If you can’t volunteer this year, please plan to attend the tour and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. It’s a great way to give back to your community and get out and meet and interact with your neighbors.
