Community generosity made Everett holiday home tour a success

Thanks to you, over $35,000 was raised by the Assistance League of Everett’s 2018 Holiday Home Tour held on Dec. 3.

Funds raised will go to support our philanthropic programs serving children, teens and adults in our community who are facing hardship, poverty and homelessness. Our largest program, Operation School Bell, provides new school clothes to over 4,000 students throughout the area.

Heartfelt thanks to the homeowners who offered their beautifully decorated homes for the Tour: Carol Bjorg, Janice White, Deane and Leslie Minor, Bruce and Sue Johnson, and Gary and Ardie Mclean. A special thanks to Dr. Sanford Wright and Patty Larson, who opened up the Hartley Mansion for two tastings and a place for the Christmas Gift Shop and a visit with Santa.

Wonderful tasty treats at the homes were provided by Anthony’s Home Port, Everett; The New Mexicans; Bleachers Grill at Cedar Crest; Choux Choux Bakery; Lj’s Bistro and Bar; BUCK’s American Cafe; Bluewater Organic Distilling; and Port Gardner Bay Winery.

Lovely floral displays were provided by Sunnyside Nursery and QFC Floral on Broadway, along with Barbara’s Floral, Stadium Flowers in Everett, and Stadium Flowers in Lynnwood who also sold tickets for us, along with J. Matheson Gifts and Joyworks in Snohomish.

Homes were sponsored by Peoples Bank, Mountain Pacific Bank, Roy Robinson Chevrolet-Subaru, Pignataro Volkswagen and members of Assistance League of Everett.

A huge thanks to the many businesses and members who provided items for the beautiful Raffle Baskets.

Thanks to a supportive community that helps make a difference in so many lives.
