2011 Holiday Tour of Homes
President's Message

As we celebrate yet another Holiday Tour of Homes we would like to include you in our own celebration, Entre Nous is 80 years old this year! We are very proud to continue as the oldest women's service club of Manatee County. In this anniversary year for us, we are thrilled to host our 34th Holiday Tour of Homes, celebrating our long tradition of service to our community.

Each year Entre Nous returns 100% of the profits from the Holiday Tour of Homes to our local community. Last year we distributed over $40,000.00 providing scholarships to forty five Manatee County students and awarding grants to eight local nonprofit agencies. We also operated an emergency relief fund which provided financial assistance to local families in crisis.

Entre Nous is grateful for the devoted support of our sponsors, advertisers and patrons. We extend a heartfelt thank you to the local shops and florists that have kindly donated holiday decorations and given so generously of their time and have added that special holiday flair to our tour.

The members of Entre Nous extend a very special thank you to the gracious owners of the four lovely residences showcased in the 2011 Holiday Tour of Homes. By generously opening their homes to our community, these families have made the tour possible.

We are delighted that you have chosen to participate in this special event that has become a Manatee County tradition marking the beginning of the Holiday Season. We thank you for your patronage and hope that you will enjoy the 2011 Holiday Tour of Homes. Please know your patronage not only provides for a delightful day, but more importantly, will benefit residents of Manatee County the entire year.

Holiday Blessings!
