St. Charles Avenue December 2005

There was a slight chill in the air, but that proved to be a plus at the Preservation Resource Center�s Holiday Home Tour patron party on Dec. 10. The festivities were held at Tom and Linda Westfeldt�s historic Garden District home, which was filled to the brim with PRC supporters who spilled out onto the porch to enjoy the weather and the starry skies (with a few secretly smoking a cigarette or two). Patron party co-chairs Deirdre Hooper, Odette Riché and Kristen Hooper, as well as tour co-chairs Julie Habetz and Jennifer Lauscha were on hand to meet and greet. This year�s tour on Dec. 11 and 12�with Latter & Blum as its lead sponsor�centered on seven Garden District homes, and it also debuted a new headquarter location at the Trinity Episcopal Church. The funds raised at the patron party and the tour support the programs of the PRC. � PRC Holiday Home Tour co-chair Jennifer lauscha, Dennis Lauscha, Holiday Home co-chair Julie Habetz and Scott Habetz Tom and Linda Westfeldt with Tommy Westervelt Hazel and Larry Schlueter Gretchen Dondis and patron party co-chair Kristen Hooper Dabney and Clyde Jacob Lynne Ann Fowler, Larry Talerico and Sylvia Roy
