Luminaries: still available, only half picked up so far

To All,

Stop by whenever :-)   226 Old Swedesford Road  Remember, we light them tomorrow night at dusk.  Would be great to see continuous luminaries throughout the neighborhood.  Looks like the weather will be good.

Please come pick some up for your neighbors that haven't yet.  Half of DECA still needs to pick up.  They will be here in my driveway under the tent through tomorrow night.

Luminaries are still available through Christmas Eve...

To All,

Luminaries are available in our driveway at 226 Old Swedesford Rd under the large stylish tent out of the rain.  Sand is at the end of Old Swedesford.  Everything will be out until Christmas Eve :-)

Pickup your luminaries...

Hello DECA,

Starting tomorrow morning I'll have the candles and paper bags in my driveway on a table pre-counted.  The sand is down at the end of Old Swedesford under a tarp.  Thanks for your patience as I get my act together this year.

1. Check the papers on the table to see how many you need.
2. Take candles and bags from our driveway ( keep paper bags away from the wet sand )
3. Mark your name off!  ( otherwise we won't know who still needs them )
4. Take 1 shovel full of sand per 10 luminary bags
5. Set them out on your curb or nearby and light them at dusk on Christmas Eve.  "Cuff" the top of the bag to make them stand a little straighter.  ( If it is raining we will post pone to Christmas Day. )

Many people reach out and thank me for helping with this DECA tradition.  I'm happy to, but really so many people participate.  Whatever holiday you celebrate or don't celebrate, I wish you all the best :-)

From an old post...

Question: Anybody know how long we have been doing this? I think it has been something like 40 years.

Answer:  Bev Smith from Down East  "...luminaries started in Downeast in 1975 when Jerry Shea was president. He brought the idea from his home in Cleveland. And when you drove to the top of a General a Warren Village those were the only lights you could see :)"

Luminaries will be self serve throughout the week...

Sorry for the last minute change in plans.

We have the candles, sand and paper bags.  We are in and out today and tomorrow so we'll let you know when you can stop by our house for pick up.  It will be self service throughout the week until Christmas Eve.  You can just drop by and pickup your bag of candles and luminary bags.

I'm sure there will be some neighbors that can't pick them up.  We welcome help delivering to those family's.  Grab your neighbors' for them :-)

I'll send another email out when the materials are out for self serve.

Hope all is well with you.

Luminaries Sand has arrived...

Hello DECA!

Luminary pickup will be this weekend on Saturday 12/15.  Unfortunately Lisa and I will not be available.  Anybody want to help?

I might just set it up as self serve.

DECA Luminaries 2018 material purchased!

Down East,

We were able to squeeze another round of luminaries out of our funds thanks to a Black Friday deal :-)  Bags ( a little larger than last year ) and candles ( votive ) have been ordered.
