Save the Date for the Park Hill Home Tour & Street Fair on September 23rd

By Roberta Locke, Park Hill Home Tour Chair

Planning for the 34th Annual Park Hill Home Tour is underway! As usual, we are shamelessly pandering for HELP! In addition to the more than 100 people we need to help on Home Tour day, we need some critical people on the home tour planning committee in the following areas:

Street Fair Coordinator: Stacy McDonald’s energetic personality has breathed new life into the Street Fair…so much so that it has taken on a life of its own. Stacy has all of her contact and organizational information ready to pass on to the new Street Fair Coordinator. She will stay on to be our liaison with the many City departments necessary to secure permits, close streets, etc. Amy Bellman will continue in her new role as the Coordinator of Kids Activities.

Volunteer Coordinator(s): Pam and Denny Hovik, have done an incredible job as the Volunteer Coordinators for the last few years and, with their attention to detail and creativity, have developed systems, volunteer lists and processes that ensure that Home Tour day is safe, secure and fun for the volunteers, homeowners and tour visitors. With their usual graciousness, they have agreed to pass along all of this information and will be available for consultation. A seasoned veteran of the volunteer committee, Larry Sondgeroth, will remain but would love have a co-coordinator or two.

Writer: Kayte Fulton is stepping down as the writer of the home descriptions, a job she has performed so brilliantly for many years. Her vivid descriptions will be greatly missed, but she has also volunteered to provide assistance and guidance to a new volunteer writer.

Public Relations: This position has been vacant for several years but we believe that a coordinated public relations effort would yield great results.

We’re very grateful to Pam and Jack Farrar, who secure advertisers for the home tour program guide and to Susan Barden and Paula Wales who spend hours soliciting, collecting and presenting the silent auction items.

All of these tasks are so much easier when we have more people helping. Please contact Roberta Locke at 303-355-4492 or robertalocke@aol.com for further information or to volunteer. Also, please take a moment to “like us” on Facebook.

Remember, the Home Tour is the largest fundraiser for the Greater Park Hill Community and all of your volunteer efforts help to strengthen this wonderful neighborhood!
