P L AT I NU M On behalf of the Rotary Club of Niagara-on-the-Lake, it is with great
pride that we welcome visitors to our 20th Annual Holiday House Tour.
We are pleased, once again, to have six distinctive homes and land-
mark destinations all beautifully decorated for the season. As an
added feature, in celebration of our 20th year, we are offering a special
VIP evening event at The McArthur Estate entitled, “A Romance
Wonderland.”
GOL D The Rotary Holiday House Tour has been a huge success over the
years because of our generous homeowners, our talented and hard-
working decorators, and hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers who have
showcased the best Niagara-on-the-Lake has to offer.
To date, we have raised more than $850,000, monies that have been
used to make our world a better place, making a difference both
locally and internationally.
This year’s Rotary Theme is “Be the Inspiration” – to effect change
around the world and in each other; to look at environmental issues
that affect health and welfare, here and globally; and do what we can
to help. Through your continued support, each ticket sale helps to give
us the means and strength to achieve these goals. To you, our faithful
supporters, we say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
S I LV E R
Wishing you a Wonderful and Safe Holiday Season.
We truly hope you enjoy this 20th Annual Rotary Holiday House Tour!!!
