Luminaria Night

The annual Luminaria Night, a celebration of light on the shortest day of the year, will be on December 21. Supplies (candles and bags) will be available for purchase at the Cookies, Cider, and Caroling Party on 12/11/10

At the last monthly meeting, we discussed possible SABA events to be held during the winter, especially in the spirit of the season.

The first event will be a Cookies, Cider, and Caroling Party on Saturday, December 11 from 3:00 to 5:00 at the house at Normandy Park. This will be a nice opportunity to get together with some neighbors to relax for a little while in the middle of holiday craziness. We will supply the cider and music. You simply bring a few dozen of your favorite cookies to share and some holiday cheer.

Hi everyone,

This Saturday, our neighborhood judges will be out taking a look at all the house decorations. They will select the 3 best decorated houses in the neighborhood. If you are interested in helping with the judging, please contact me.

This Sunday evening, 12/20, is the night for this year's Luminaria Night. We have luminaria bags and candles available for purchase. A set of 10 bags and 10 candles is only $5 and create a beautiful glow for your house. The sets are available at Diane Wilder's house at 807 Aubrey. There is a chest on her front porch so you do not need to call ahead. Simply leave a check for $5 made out to SABA in the envelope in the chest when you pick up your supplies.

Also, the Luminaria Night Celebration is this Sunday at Normandy Park from 5:00 to 7:30. Please come join your neighbors for a little holiday cheer, caroling, and more luminaria as we celebrate the season and the winter solstice. Please contact me if you are interested in volunteering for this event. We will announce the winners of the House Decoration Contest at the Luminaria Night Celebration

Hope to see you there as we all enjoy our neighborhood-wide celebration of light on one of the shortest days of the year.
