LUMINARIA SALES BEGIN NOVEMBER 1ST!
For 56 years, our local chapter of the Infant Welfare Society Auxiliary has sponsored this beautiful Christmas Eve event which has evolved into a breathtaking expression of community pride, unity, and caring.
Luminaria are spaced 5’ to 10’ apart along streets or sidewalks and driveways. The candles are anchored in bags using sand, birdseed, potting soil or lumabases, which can be purchased through our sale.
Proceeds from our sale benefit the Infant Welfare Society, bringing the gift of good health to disadvantaged children. You can support this mission by joining your neighbors in lighting luminaria or by making a financial donation.
Your support in any form is always apppreciated! Donate now by clicking on this link.
