Volunteers Needed for LCCA’s Annual Holiday House Tour
LCCA is seeking volunteers to serve as hosts for this year’s Holiday House Tour on Sunday, December 3. We need 50+ volunteers to staff the homes on the tour and the Wassail that concludes the tour at Studio Theatre.
In-home hosts provide a presence for security and traffic control, and are provided with information about highlights of their assigned home to help respond to questions. Wassail volunteers set up refreshments, refresh them as necessary, and help guide traffic from the sidewalk to the appropriate entrance and reception area.
This is a full, fun day. While the tour itself is held from 1 to 5 p.m., the day begins in the morning with breakfast and a “pre-tour” so all volunteers have the opportunity to see the homes. The reward comes after the tour concludes at 5, with details to come later. Trust us, the day will end on a satisfying note.
This is LCCA’s only annual fundraiser and we need you to help make it a success. Please note that all volunteers must purchase a ticket, and we make a nominal charge for the breakfast.
If you’re interested in volunteering for this year’s House Tour, please contact Tim Christensen, volunteer coordinator, at christensent@nasfaa.org.
