Community Hosts are volunteers from local businesses, non-profits organizations, community groups, and families, who greet visitors driving through the Tour of Lights. Additional duties of a Community Host include: handing out candy canes, survey cards and pencils, as well as collecting donations (we suggest $5 per vehicle) to help cover the cost of the light display which is approximately $175,000 each year.
Volunteers are needed nightly beginning Friday, December 6th through Tuesday, December 31st. Shifts run from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays through Thursdays, and 6 p.m. to Midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. On Tuesday, December 31st, the Light Tour will be open from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. A minimum of six (6) volunteers are needed per hour and we suggest that the volunteers work in two-hour shifts.
A club or organization will be recognized on an entrance poster, on the website, and in a thank-you ad placed in the San Angelo Standard Times. Each individual volunteer will have his or her name entered into a drawing for five (5) - $100 shopping sprees at Sunset Mall. (Each person will have their name entered into the drawing for every hour worked, so the more hours worked adds up to more entries into the drawing.)
To participate as a Community Host, please contact Donna Donaldson at (325) 944-4444 for more information.
