“Welcome back! Our doors are open, once again” is the headline for this year’s Georgetown House Tour, Donna Leanos, House Tour Chair, told The Georgetowner.
“St. John’s Church, along with those dedicated to providing support to the 89th Georgetown House Tour, are full of joy that we will once again be opening our doors this spring. The House Tour is a long standing tradition that benefits among others, the Georgetown Ministry Center. We hope to have a large turnout this year as we mark the return of spring events for the Georgetown community,” said Leanos, who is a St. John’s parishioner and whose family has several Georgetown connections.
Here are some details to get us started, as provided by the tour.
