DIRECTIONS BY LAND OR WATER
Due to the current economy, sponsorship for the event is down but the need for these organizations has increased. Volunteers are still needed- I'll be a greeter and my husband will be helping at the dock- please consider coming out to help, you'll be glad you did.
Call (540) 297-TOUR to volunteer. For more information on sponsorships call Bonita DeLooper at (540) 297-6678.
This sounds like a great event for some really good organizations. I know that organizations that do such good work in giving back to the community are seeing less in donations when people need it the most.
Rich, The Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour is a win-win for everyone. In these tough economic times, our charities need all the help they can get. What a great way to spend the day while providing funds for these organizations.
