CUSTOM HOME SITE OF THE 61st<\/span> ANNUAL CHRISTMAS IDEA HOUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holiday Charity Event to Assists Local Students and Families<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Desert Club\u2019s 2018 Christmas Idea House will be showcased in Gilbert, Arizona, near Lindsay and Pecos Roads. The 6,000 square foot, custom home is situated on one acre of beautifully landscaped property.   The stunning estate will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland, open for the public to tour and purchase thousands of unique holiday gifts and d\u00e9cor artfully displayed. All proceeds from this event will provide need-based scholarships to deserving young students and benefit local charities.<\/p>\n

MODERN DAY ELVES AND OVER 60 YEARS OF TRADITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Christmas Idea House has become a holiday tradition and lures thousands of visitors each year. It is the primary fundraiser for Desert Club, a 72 year old, all-volunteer women\u2019s service organization<\/strong>. The event is held at a different luxury home each year in locations throughout the East Valley. Desert Club members decorate the home from top to bottom with holiday d\u00e9cor, unique and handcrafted gifts and gourmet goodies, all for sale and ranging in price from $12 to several hundred dollars each. One hundred percent of the proceeds are given back to the community<\/strong> in the form of scholarships to in-state college students and grants to local charities. To date, Desert Club has awarded almost $2.7 million.<\/p>\n
