What might I expect if I want to volunteer for this event and how do I volunteer?
Volunteers play a key role and are essential for a successful Homes for the Holidays Tour. Volunteers are needed before the event and during the weekend of the event. A committee forms each January, meets bi-monthly and then monthly as the event nears. New committee members can become involved in the work of planning, securing homes and promoting the event. Volunteers are also needed for the event weekend to serve as docents, assisting ticket holders touring the homes and to donate baked goods for the CASA Sweet Shop.
