Twenty-third Annual Tour of Homes October 27-29, 2000
THE TOUR IS BACK! We are shouting from the backs of tee shirts, to our banners, to the media, to the backyard - The Tour is Back! We are so pleased to bring you, after a one-year hiatus, a weekend full of activities that highlight the best that our neighborhood has to offer. As tour chairs, we have had a great year planning events, learning about the beautiful buildings featured on this year’s tour, and (best of all) getting to know many wonderful neighbors. It is truly a privilege to live in this neighborhood full of history, charm, and warmth (the human kind, not the weather!), and we encourage you to get out this weekend and enjoy it to the fullest. This year’s tour weekend features many of the events that have become tradition, as well as several new events that we hope you will make new traditions. The first, and largest new addition to our schedule is our Preview Party, held Friday night at Salubrity Hall, the beautiful Tudor Revival home of Greg Wilson. The evening will feature music, great food, and the opening of our Summerville Art Exhibit, “Summerville Inspired.” This party is open only to Summerville Neighborhood Association members, but don’t panic if you haven’t paid dues. The party “ticket” is attained simply by paying your 2001 membership dues (a mere $20 per household), and ANYONE can belong to SNA, even if they don’t live in Summerville. Invite your neighbors and your Columbia County friends as well to join us in an elegant evening of toasting Summerville. The evening begins at 6:45 with a beautiful Vesper Service by the renowned St. Mary on the Hill choir. You can begin even a little earlier by picking up a few great books at the preview of the Appleby Library’s book sale. All events are detailed inside The Post. Saturday will be chock full of events for the whole family. We will begin with a favorite tradition, the Summerville parade. Note this year that our route has changed, and that we will end up on Monte Sano Avenue for another new event, the Monte Sano Street Fair. Area businesses, churches, dance troupes, and the infamous Knights of Columbus refreshments will make this a great way to entertain your children and yourselves. For those who want to know the “inside scoop” on the tour homes, there will be a lunch lecture on the architecture and history of the tour homes beginning at 11:00 at the Maxwell House (by reservation only). Then, the Big Event begins at 12:00, our Tour. We think that you will be delighted at the vast array of beautiful
