Holiday Tour of Homes
The 2011 Holiday Home Tour is now history, but what a wonderful event it was! We have received so much positive feedback. Of course, this event wouldn’t be possible without the willingness of those who opened their homes and institutions to us.
A special thanks to the members of First St. John Lutheran Church for the beautifully decorated sanctuary and the informative historical presentation. OJHS members Floyd Hagedorn, Marge Bollinger, Jim and Janet Fox, as well as Joanne Crandall represented their congregation so well. The Old Eastmoreland homeowners made extra effort to make their homes welcoming to the public. Our thanks to each of them: Jason and Kristin Perkins, Doug and Deb Dippman, Jorge and Maggie Edwards, David and Laura Baker, Carol Basinger and Jonathon and Sharon Perry. Rev. Gerald Labuhn and his presenters, former residents of the Lutheran Orphans Society, were a perfect ending to the self-driving tour.
This tour continues to be the largest single fundraiser for our Society and continues to gain community support with 274 people attending this year. This far exceeds previous attendance and exceeded the expectations of the committee. OJHS members who donated time and/or other support to make this possible are Bill Rowland, Dianne Powers, Betty Metz and JoAnn Flanagan. Thanks to the committee for a well-planned event:
Deb Eversman, Deb Rowland, Wanda Rice and Connie Isbell.
