Volunteer for Decatur's Tour of Homes


Decatur Holiday Candlelight Tour of Homes: Living Green
Friday, December 5, and Saturday, December 6
5:30-9:30 p.m.

We are a little over a week away from the Decatur Holiday Candlelight Tour of Homes. This year's tour features homes with the theme of "Living Green." Take a look inside eight of Decatur's most interesting homes. This year's tour focuses on homes renovated in eco-friendly ways, using "green" materials and techniques to minimize their impact on the Earth. Take the free Cliff shuttle from home to home, and to four exciting points of interest. Proceeds from the tour benefit the Decatur Youth Fund and the Decatur Preservation Alliance.




Volunteers receive a complimentary ticket to take the Tour. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at Seventeen Steps, Intown Ace Hardware, Bicycle South, and The Seen Gallery. Proceeds from the tour benefit the Decatur Youth Fund, which sends disadvantaged Decatur youths to summer school, summer camp and specialty camps, and the Decatur Preservation Alliance, which operates the Woodlands Garden and works to protect and preserve the city's architectural heritage. Read more about the homes on the Tour at http://decaturtourofhomes.com. Volunteer sign up forms are also available on the website.


Volunteer shifts are:
Friday, December 5, 5:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
Friday, December 5, 7:15 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Saturday, December 6, 5:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
Saturday, December 6, 7:15 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.


Most volunteer positions still open are during the second shift both evenings. Volunteers are welcome to pick up their ticket before their shift, so they may start touring prior to their shift. To sign up, please call Lee Ann Harvey at 678-553-6548 or email leeannharvey@decaturga.com and be sure to give your name, shift time preferred, email address, and day and evening phone. We appreciate your support of the Tour.
