All the cold weather and snow notwithstanding, spring will be with us sooner than we realize, and the Bungalow Club is in need of houses for upcoming bungalow events. Many people turned out for the February "Two-fer for Troostwood" and we hope that they came away inspired to open their houses for tour.
Opening your house couldn't be easier - just set a date and time and guests will show up, with food and drink to share and an eagerness to see your house and the story you have to tell about it. Although we are a "bungalow club", we appreciate seeing any older house ... and we've even been fortunate enough to tour some new ones as well. Your house doesn't have to be "magazine-perfect"; many bungalow club members appreciate a work-in-progress, because chances are good that they've experienced what you're going through now with a renovation, or may soon be there themselves.
If you'd like to host a bungalow club event, please notify Jan Bentley by e-mail or by phone at 816-363-0349
