Enjoy the Spirit of the Season

Henry Mayo’s Holiday Home Tour

by Stephanie Struyck Elgin

Deck the Halls with good cheer for the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital’s 30th Annual Holiday Home Tour festivities on December 3 and 4.  “Bundles of Joy” will be this year’s theme, as proceeds will benefit Henry Mayo’s neonatal intensive care unit, scheduled to begin construction in 2011.
Enjoy the spirit and warmth of the season in the heart of three Santa Clarita Valley neighborhoods.  Hosted by the hospital’s Home Tour League, the event will offer visitors an opportunity to tour three of the homes we have featured in this issue, decorated in beautiful and extravagant themes of festive holiday décor.  Tickets are only $30 and are available to purchase at Henry Mayo and participating stores.  They can also be purchased on the day of the event at the holiday gift boutique at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Newhall or any of the featured homes.  The tour is open to all adults and children over 12 years of age.  Guests are requested to wear flat shoes only for safety purposes.
Ring in the season with the Preview Gala, on Friday, December 3. Get an exclusive first look at the homes on tour from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. and enjoy a delicious buffet dinner at the beautiful Robinson’s Ranch Golf Club from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m.  Holiday festive attire is suggested.  Gala tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased by calling 661-253-8052 or visiting the hospital’s website.
‘Tis the season to give, so enjoy some holiday shopping as the Home Tour’s indoor holiday gift boutique will provide shoppers with unique gifts.  The boutique will be at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church Assembly Hall on Saturday, December 4.  The boutique is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The Holiday Home Tour League has provided 30 years of holiday bliss.  Let us continue the tradition of giving by supporting the hospital.  
For more information or to purchase tickets, call the hospital’s Volunteer Services office at 661-253-8051 or visit www.henrymayo.com.
