Christmas in Olde York: Plans are underway for the 28th annual pilgrimage through some of our beloved historical homes and buildings. A few homes are still needed to be secured for the tour as well as volunteers to serve as docents and to help with decorating inside and out.
The Christmas tour committee will be scheduling a meeting for early September and if you are interested, a few more members are needed to help with the planning stages. Your input is truly welcome! Please contact committee chairpersons Denise Eakin at 803-290 4811 or Signa curry at 704-299-2322 or email signamarie@gmail.com.
What a great opportunity to find out what we're planning and promoting and for getting involved!
