Things To Do- Homes For The Holidays Event 11/22 11AM-4PM

Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce

Eight fabulous homes in Magnolia will be open to the public on Saturday, November 22, for a self-guided tour from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Many of these beautiful homes will be professionally decorated for the holidays. “Homes for the Holidays” is a program of the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce Businesswomen’s Division.

The Home Tour is being planned by the Businesswomen to support the Carolyn O’Connor Scholarship. Named for the first Chairperson of this active Chamber group, the scholarship benefits a woman who is changing careers or returning to the workforce after an absence and is in need of further education. The Businesswomen have given out three $1,000 scholarships since it was created in 2006. The group is hoping to raise enough funds to either increase the scholarship amount or the number of scholarships for 2009.

Tickets are $25.00 in advance and $30.00 on the day of the tour. Actual tickets and a map showing the location of the homes can be picked up on the day of the tour at the Magnolia Library, 1 Lexington Avenue, Gloucester, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Contact the Chamber office to order your advance tickets.
