Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club invites the town to shine on during Luminary Night

November 23, 2017 by Deborah Brown

SPONSORED POST: If you’re ready to let a little magic into your holiday season, then you’re ready for the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club’s (WHJWC) 11th Annual Luminary Night, which this year takes place on Sunday, December 10. On Luminary Night, families and businesses throughout Wellesley light luminary candles along their streets, sidewalks and doorsteps, creating a beautiful town-wide display that welcomes the holiday season.

Luminary Night proceeds directly benefit the Wellesley community; funds are used to support a number of local charitable organizations and create scholarships for WHS students. Last year, Luminary Night raised $27,000, with more than 13,000 candles lighting the town.

Luminary kits can be purchased starting November 15 online or at the Roche Brothers Customer Service Desk; the Wellesley Holiday Boutique;  or Wellesley Dental Group.

December 5 – 10 kits will be for sale outside Roche Bros. at the WHJWC table.

Luminary kits are $20 each and include materials to create ten luminaries.  Kits ordered on-line will be delivered to your home by a member of the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club.

Here’s more information about how you can help set the town aglow on Luminary Night.

The Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club is a volunteer organization of more than 80 women who give of their time through hands-on service and fundraising efforts.  WHJWC’s annual fundraisers include Wellesley Marketplace, Luminary Night, Wellesley Kitchen and Home Tour, and the 5K Wonder Run and Kids Fun Run. The Club gives back approximately $130k annually to the local community in both grants and scholarships.

Your home can look this pretty on Luminary Night, too. All it takes is a simple kit from the WHJWC to get things glowing.
