Wanted - Home Tour Coordinators
Our 43rd Annual Home Tour is just around the corner... so now's your chance to sign up and enrich your life by being a coordinator.
Those of you who have done so in the past know how much fun it is so I know you'll be begging me to let you do it again this year.
If you haven't been lucky enough to have been a coordinator and would like to be one this year, just email, text or call me. If you don't have any idea what's involved being a coordinator, just call me and I'LL COERCE YOU... OOPS, I mean I'll explain what a coordinator does.
You'll get to relax in a beautiful, quiet, serene home on Saturday OR Sunday and interact with parents who actually listen to you, opposed to you trying to communicate with your kids, to no avail, or refereeing fights and chauffeuring them to wherever they have to go (now your spouse gets to step in and take over). So run.... don't walk...to your phone and be the 1st in line to get one of the lucky spots as a coordinator.
