The Garden Club of Long Beach Island wishes to extend our sincere gratitude for your presence at our 58th Annual Holiday Tour of Homes.
Your attendance and support as our House Tour expanded into a 2 day event means a great deal to our members and we are truly appreciative of your participation. We were so happy to share our magical holiday celebration, “Seashells and Sleigh Bells” with you, and would like you to know that through your participation you have played a vital role in furthering our club’s mission and helping us make a positive impact within our community.
With the money raised through our fundraising efforts and events such as The Holiday Tour of Homes, our club maintains community gardens and supports many outreach programs for local youths, seniors, and environmental organizations. We encourage you to take the time to look at our “Special Projects” under the Committee tab on our website to see some of the worthwhile organizations that we support. Funding also goes toward having professional speakers present programs to our Club Members throughout the year on floral design, horticulture, environmental issues, and garden related topics.
Once again, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for your participation in the Holiday Tour of Homes. You made our event more meaningful and contributed significantly to its success.
We look forward to continuing this cherished tradition for many years to come!
