Milton Holiday Tour of Homes Raises $20,000

From Milton Holiday Tour: The inaugural Milton Holiday Tour of Homes was a huge success on December 10, 2016, with more than 300 people touring the homes and 29 sponsors helping to raise approximately $20,000 to benefit the Friends of the Milton Library.

The Tour featured five “classically Milton” homes stunningly decorated for the Holidays. Each home was carefully selected and kept secret before the Tour. The homes were revealed to ticketholders during the Tour -- providing an element of anticipation and surprise.

The tickets for the tour sold out in less than 10 minutes. Robert Meyers, chair of the Milton Holiday Tour of Homes committee and board member of the Friends of the Milton Library, said: “We were overjoyed at the response of the community for this tour,” said Meyers. “With such interest and success, we hope to expand our tour next year.”

The money raised from the tour will benefit the Friends of the Milton Library, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the financial support and program enhancement of the Milton Library. Some of the library programs supported by the Friends of the Milton Library include: STEM and STEAM programs, Lego Club, Astronomy Club program supplies, chess boards and timers, Teen Advisory Board meetings, Youth Book Club, Wildlife Program, Children’s Music Performance, Atlanta Audubon Youth programs, Summer Reading, and others.
