2015 Patrons’ Party
The kick-off event for the Georgetown House Tour was held at the beautiful home of Debbie Winsor. This year’s party Chairs were Amy Gross, Megan Paleologos, Amy Porter Stroh, Belinda Winslow and Debbie Winsor. Now in its 13th year, the Patron’s Party brought together over 300 attendees who enjoyed a wonderful spring evening celebrating the upcoming tour. TTR | Sotheby’s served as the platinum sponsor.
House co-chairs Barbara Wolf and Colman Riddell recognized and thanked the homeowners and Jubliee Jobs, one of the recipients of this year’s tour proceeds.
In attendance was 99 year old Frida Burling, known as “the Tours Patron Saint.” Frida established the Patrons’ Party in 2001, to raise additional proceeds to benefit St. John’s many ministries and thank the generous supporters and volunteers of the tour. Other notables include Kitty Kelly who hosted the first Patrons’ Party and Councilman Jack Evans.
Thanks to everyone who joined us, organized the evening and sponsored the night. It was a fantastic way to kick off the house tour!
