LUMINARIA
The Christmas season will be upon us in a short time. One of the most memorable sights in Tidewater Preserve is the streets lined with the luminary lights. Just a simple white lunch bag with a little sand and tea light candle transformed our streets into a wonderland.
The Shores as the new folks on the block has been slow to adopt this tradition. I propose we the residents of the Shores follow our neighbors on the Eastside and line our streets with the Luminary lights.
If we setup volunteer groups from the Terrances and the Coach Homes with a Captain for each group we can organize this with ease. I present the following plan
PLAN
Date : December 24, 2022 4:00 PM till 6:00 PM place the Luminary at curb line. Light candles at 6:30 PM (4 Hour burn time)
December 25, 2022 9:00 AM meet at pool and remove all bags. Dispose of bags and candles. Sand will be placed back in maintenance area.
Supplies Needed: White paper lunch bags. Walmart has them for $2.00 per 50 but at this time out of stock. We will need about 1100 bags. Candles, 4 Hour Bulk Unscented Tealight Candles - White (200 Pack) $24.15 per 200 We will need about 6 packs I have purchased 400 already.
Sand for bag base. We have the sand from Hurricane Ian.
Volunteers will be needed a couple of days before December 24 to fill bags with sand a place candle.
Volunteers will be needed who have a pickup truck and folks to place bags on curb line on December 24 PM
Folks will be needed on Christmas day to pickup used bags. It should only be 30-45 minutes with a good turnout.
If anyone wants to volunteer and /or lead a group, Please let me know.
At the meet and greet on November 6 I will have a signup list.
Let's light up our whole community.
