LCCA Needs Your Support for the 32nd Annual Holiday House Tour

The Holiday House Tour, scheduled this year for Sunday, December 5, is LCCA’s signature annual event and our only fundraiser. Please show your support today by becoming a patron or benefactor. Your generous donation will help us continue our ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life in the Logan Circle neighborhood for residents, businesses, and visitors.

We’re often asked what we do with membership dues and donations. Here are a few examples: We support local non-profits (recent beneficiaries include the Constance Whitaker Maffin Memorial Fund and N Street Village); we make community development grants, such as our major treebox initiative that enhanced the beauty of our neighborhood immeasurably. We also have administrative fees to pay, such as accounting, Web services, and insurance. Membership meetings and special events bring convening costs. And while we’re largely electronic in our communications, we do have printing and duplicating expenses to meet.

We’re proud that LCCA is a 100 percent volunteer-run organization and are grateful for the thousands hours logged by our volunteers every year. We make every effort to keep costs to a minimum, and we are deeply grateful for your support.

Please print and complete the Patron and Benefactor Registration Form today. We need to hear from you by COB Monday, November 15, in order to recognize you in the House Tour Program.

Thank you!

2007 Logan Circle Holiday House Tour

The 2007 Logan Circle Holiday House Tour was a resounding success! Homes, new and old, around the neighborhood were on display, and despite a little bit of drizzle, the turnout was great. The numbers aren't all in yet, but this was one of the most successful tours ever.

Eight different homes were toured, including a unit in the famous #1 Logan Circle, two units in the brand new Cooper Lewis buildling, and the newly renovated sanctuary of Luther Place Memorial Church. The styles and architectures ranged from traditional Victorian to modern loft penthouse. Check out more photos here.

If you couldn't make it this year, make sure to pencil it in for next year! The upcoming season will mark the tour's 30th anniversary, so it's sure to be a great one.



Thanks go to all of the homeowners who so graciously opened their doors to us, and to all the volunteers, without whom this even would never be possible. And an extra special thanks to Tim and Walter, the co-chairs of the House Tour Committee: The excellence of the tour is a direct result of the excellence of your leadership. Thank you so much!

Volunteers Needed-LCCA's Annual Holiday House Tour

LCCA is seeking volunteers to serve as hosts for thisyear's Holiday House Tour on Sunday, December 2, 2007. We need 50+ volunteers to staff the homes on the tourand the Wassail that concludes the tour at StudioTheatre. http://www.logancircle.org/

In-home hosts provide a presence for security andtraffic control, and are provided with informationabout highlights of their assigned home to helprespond to questions. Wassail volunteers set uprefreshments, refresh them as necessary, and helpguide traffic from the sidewalk to the appropriateentrance and reception area.

This is a full, fun day. While the tour itself is heldfrom 1 to 5 p.m., the day begins in the morning withbreakfast and a "pre-tour" so all volunteers have theopportunity to see the homes. The reward comes after the tour concludes at 5pm, with details to come later. Trust us, the day will end on a celebratory note youdon't want to miss!

This is LCCA's only annual fundraiser and we need youto help make it a success. Please note that allvolunteers must purchase a ticket for $15. If you're interested in volunteering for this year'sHouse Tour, please contact Anne Marie amd93@yahoo.com. Don't miss out on a great time!
