SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, December 19th Luminary Pick up!

Shout out to Joe King for stepping up and in and ordering all items for our luminary display!

Each household will receive 10 luminaries for display on 12/24!

Kits will be premade for easy pick up and all you'll need to do is grab your sand! 

When: Saturday, December 19th 9am-5pm

Where: Cul-de-sac 29 Winding Way (by the park)

Feel free to pick up for your neighbors, etc.
Also, if you know of anyone who may need assistance the evening of the display with set up, Tasneem Bookbinder has volunteered again to assist!  (Thank you, Tasneem!)

LUMINARIAS-TO BE OR NOT TO BE...

We have had 3 neighbors offer to assist in the packaging and delivering of the luminaries BUT we can't create these beautiful displays without the ingredients!

Please let Adam Beck or I know if you are interested in any of the following roles:


Supplies-(I can provide amounts, etc.)

• Sand ordering
• Candle ordering

Additional Luminaria Leaders (many hands make light work)

In the past, we've aimed to have the kits created and picked up the weekend before 12/24 (12/19-12/20).

More than ever, the world needs to spread it's light---let's start here in Downeast!

It's almost that time!
Our annual and much envied Luminaria Event on 12/24 for our Downeast Community!

We need your help!

We are able to provide this cost free to our community for another year.  We do have some leftover bags and candles; however, we need the following:

1. Organizers-to arrange for pick ups, etc.
2. Sand order point person
3. Candle order point person
4. Runners, assemblers, helpers (Treasurer or President can sign off on Community Service hours for our MS and HS students)

Please let Kristen Cannella know if you'd like to participate to keep this tradition going.

Watershed Survey & Leaf Collection

Take the survey.  It didn't take that long.  I learned some stuff too.  From the East Whiteland Township website.

East Whiteland Township is working with the Chester Ridley Crum Watersheds Association to improve water quality in our local streams. Your responses to a quick five-minute survey will help us efficiently meet state requirements for public education and outreach on stormwater and create programs that will improve our streams. Please visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/crcstormwater to participate. Your responses are greatly appreciated.”

Also, it looks like something was put on the books regarding leaf collection...

B. Section 163-4, subsection F is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

F. Leaf waste, with the exception of that being composted by a residential property owner or occupant, shall be collected monthly by the solid waste collector. The leaf waste shall be in biodegradable bags.

Just in time for our election season....drum roll, please!

DECA HAS A NEW PRESIDENT!

Thank you to Adam Beck who has generously offered his many talents and time to the President role of our neighborhood association!  Adam, and his wife Lisa, have been consistent contributors to the many events and activities throughout the years--we are in excellent hands!

I will remain on as Treasurer for our community. 

However, there are still a lot of opportunities to get involved!!

We need your talent as well: communications, event organizations, services, etc.  A vice-prez and communications person would be helpful as well as anyone else who'd like to help!

Items on deck for November/December:

1. ANNUAL LUMINARY DISPLAY (December 24th)-volunteers needed to coordinate.  We have enough money in our treasury to provide these to families at no cost for this year!
2. PLANNING FOR 2016- events and activities-need volunteers.

Information about how to reach Adam and other volunteers will arrive soon.

Please contact me via email with any questions, ideas and especially offers of help with the LUMINARY event! 

Congratulations, Mr. President!

Best to all,
Kristen
