Preparations are in full swing for this year's Old Wilmington by Candlelight Tour, our biggest fundraising event of the year and a Wilmington holiday season staple for over 50 years! We need committee members to assist with contacting tour sites, recruiting donors and sponsors, planning the social, decorating Latimer House, and distributing tickets. The committee meets twice a month until the first week of December, when the event takes place. All volunteers receive a free, complimentary ticket to the event (a $50 value!) and an invitation to the exclusive Candlelight Tour Social. Interested? Email info@latimerhouse.org for more details.
