Illuminating Safety: Neighborhood Lantern Walk Promotes Pedestrian Safety

Over 115 community members came together for a lantern walk to Phelps Grove Park on October 7th, 2023. This event, which began with nine participants from our neighborhood starting their walk from Sunshine School, had a dual purpose - fun and education. Along the lantern-lit journey, attendees engaged in discussions about pedestrian safety. The event aimed to raise awareness and empower participants to be safer pedestrians and drivers. This gathering highlighted the importance of small actions in creating a safer community. Make plans now to participate next October.

Lantern Making Workshop Update

Even fully grown neighbors can come to the Lantern Workshop and make up to TEN luminaries for their road frontage on Saturday.

We have well over a hundred soda bottles!

And if they’re not gone by 6 pm, you can have them all! They look so pretty with sand in them.
