Two More Tours of Homes™ for Chapters

Rhonda Calkins
Director of Chapter Affairs

When the Mason County and Lewis County Chapters decided to take on the task of a Tour of Homes™, they both were a bit skeptical about finding enough participants.  They were amazed with the response of the builders and the community.  Following the guidelines of the successful Twin Harbors Tour helped pave the way to great events for both of the other chapters.

Builders joined the association just to be able to participate.  The enthusiasm of the builders was very exciting to see.  What better way to showcase our builder members and their projects. If this first year was a sign of the years to come, WOW is all I can say.

Those chapter members, who were not able to participate with a home, stepped up to help by putting ads in the Tour Tabs.  Congratulations to all of you for a job well done. 

Watch next months issue to see the winners of the Lewis and Mason Tours.
