SOHO Needs You for the Craftsman-Spanish Revival Weekend!
Preparations for the March 5th and 6th Weekend are underway. The 7th Annual Arts & Crafts weekend is being expanded into the San Diego Craftsman-Spanish Revival Weekend. The Spanish Revival style was started throughout California here in San Diego with the 1915 Exposition. Although philosophically different the styles co-mingled here profusely. We can see this everywhere, from the bungalow courtyard housing in Spanish Revival styles to the predominantly Craftsman interiors that are behind many of the Spanish Revival façades. This important style is uniquely San Diego's architectural identity and we think the inclusion of it to the show is important to our educational goals.
Please mark your calendars now! This is a busy time right now before the holidays, so we ask only that you put aside these days on your 2004 calendar now and contact us after the first of the year. We need your help and we know it is best if we can let our volunteers know as early on as possible that we need them.
To ensure the success of this fabulous two-day show, we are going to need over 100 volunteers to man houses, help with the exhibition hall, and much more. Whether you are a faithful, long-time volunteer or you are new to volunteering, please join us for this weekend. Your commitment as a volunteer is a tangible means of helping SOHO achieve our preservation goals.
Please call (619) 297-7511, email sohosandiego@aol.com, or fax (619) 291-3576 as soon as possible to add your name to our volunteer list. Our Craftsman-Spanish Revival Weekend Volunteer Coordinator will contact you about placement for the show.
Please join us and as always, you will receive a Home Tour Ticket as a thank you for helping. Please contact us now!
