On Saturday, December 2, 2023, the Ladies of the Shield hosted our annual Holiday Home Tour featuring three homes in Lakeview. Although the streets were flooded, it did not stop attendees from touring the beautiful homes.
The Patron Party was held at the home of Matt and Jessica O’Connor at 6349 General Haig Street. Also on tour were the following beautiful homes: 6349 General Haig Street, 6773 General Haig Street, 6449 and 6451 Vicksburg Street.
During the day, guests toured homes, decorated in the Christmas spirit, while visiting with friends, old and new. Each home was beautiful and unique.
Special thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, faculty, and staff, especially Dominick Caronna ’85 and Chris Bailey ’86 and members of the Crusader Band, as well as Drew Treuting and Donald Midkiff, Jr. ’03 with the Culinary Crusaders.
