Entre Nous Holiday Tour of Homes a resounding success

As president of the longest running women’s service club in Manatee County, I feel compelled to express our deep gratitude to our wonderful patrons who attended this past weekend’s Holiday Tour of Homes.

In its 39th year, the tour was better than ever. Four beautiful homes were on display for all to see, plus yummy delights at the Sweet Shoppe and local crafts at Elf Alley.

The community did not disappoint, and folks came out in huge numbers to support our efforts and had a wonderful time from all of the feedback I received. The homes were so spectacular and unique that there was something for everyone to enjoy.

With all of the proceeds, this year’s club will be able to make many sizable donations to local students to help defray higher education costs as well as specifically help many local no-profits with their funding efforts; 100 percent of the profits are returned to the community.

Again, we thank you for your patronage and we hope you had a wonderful experience. See you next year on the tour!!
