First Holiday Tour of Homes
The year of 1978 was a banner year for Entre Nous. The very first Christmas Holiday Tour of Homes
was held, with profits
of $5,000 earned. In 1978 the Manatee Association for Retarded Citizens (M.A.R.C.)
held a special appreciation day for Entre
Nous, in which they dedicated the newly covered driveway constructed with the funds donated by Entre Nous. Also in 1978,
Entre Nous donated $5,000 to the Manatee County Girl's Club
for improvements and repairs to the Barker house, which became
the first permanent home for the Manatee County Girl's Club.
