I just tried to send this message along with an attachment also containing the press release, but it seems that only the attachment came through - so here is the message again, this time with no attachment. Sorry for the duplication. - Melani Lamond
In reply to Naomi's question, and as a reminder for all, here is the original press release for this Sunday's Holiday House Tour, sponsored by the University City Historical Society. Also, look for an article in this week's University City Review. Join neighbors, friends, and visitors from afar on the tour! See traditional greens, modern art, Victorian restorations, gourmet kitchens, basketball-playing Santa ornaments, a doll collection, and folk art Judaica. And that's only the beginning! This will be a REALLY GREAT tour, and just the thing to convince us that Christmas really is right around the corner! -Melani Lamond & Marielena Mata Tour committee -------------------------------------------------- For immediate release Contact information: call Melani Lamond at (215)222-4800.
