The November Lakewood Home Tour is a big fundraiser for neighborhood schools — last year the tour and surrounding events raised more than $75,000 for Lakewood Elementary, J.L. Long and Woodrow. But they can’t make it happen without volunteers. Volunteers are needed to man houses, the craft fair and cafe Saturday and Sunday Nov. 13 and 14 and to work the auction on the preceding Friday, Nov. 12. It’s also a good opportunity for high school students to earn those much-needed service hours. You can register to volunteer online at lakewoodhomefestival.com or call Sandy at 214.794.5918.
