Long-time Gate 6 ½ resident Lewis Shireman has stepped up to lead the Private Tour Committee.
The committee organizes guided tours tailored for small groups providing them an opportunity to explore the docks and peek inside some homes. They have long been a major fundraiser for the Floating Homes Association.
Since moving here in the mid-90s, Lewis has served as Environmental Chair, he’s taken active roles in past Open Homes Tours, and he even helped redraft the FHA bylaws. After serving as Administrative Coordinator, Lewis was named FHA Member of the Year in 2005.
In his new role, Lewis will be reaching out to destination management companies, retirement communities, and other types of organizations that have scheduled private tours in the past. He also plans to reassemble volunteers to open their homes, serve as tour guides, and assist in marketing the tours.
