The Home Tour Tea
Tea, coffee and homemade cookies will be served at Preston Castle. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the Castle’s first floor. And, if you have been to a previous Home Tour, you’ll remember buying raffle tickets for the opportunity to win a fabulous, themed basket, e.g., wine, food, arts and crafts, local attraction tickets, and more.
Supporting Local Scholarships and More
The Home Tour is the primary fundraiser for the Amador Branch. It supports college scholarships for local women and girls. The funds raised through the Home Tour benefit women who are in the Upper Division portion of their degree studies or doing Graduate work, and women who have either delayed or interrupted their education and wish to go back to college to improve their employment opportunities. Proceeds also provide Tech Trek scholarships for middle school girls to attend a week-long summer math and science camp along with community projects and educational programs for Branch members and the public.
