Luminary Sale!

During the month of December, the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Rotary club will sell Luminaries at the Fanwood Department of Public Works at 1 Fanwood Place (Manfra Way), off of North Avenue.   The sale dates are December 13-14 and December 20-21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and December 24 from  9 a.m. to 12 p.m.  

The luminary kits cost $1.25 per kit in all quantities and include paper bags, candles and sand. Customers are encouraged to bring buckets, boxes or plastic bags to transport the sand. Payments can be made by cash, check or Venmo. 

Orders and pre-orders can be made on this site (see button below).  Pre-orders placed prior to December 12th for 25 or more luminaries will be discounted to $1 per kit. 

Luminaries are traditionally used to illuminate the streets on Christmas Eve. A candle is nestled in sand at the bottom of a paper bag and placed along sidewalks to create a beautiful walkway. The candles are then lit at dusk on Christmas Eve. Some neighborhoods in the area get together and buy hundreds of kits to create an amazing display. 

All proceeds from the sale will be used to fund the various charitable and humanitarian projects that Rotary supports, both locally and internationally.  

Dr. Susan Esquillin was our speaker on Wednesday, October 15. She spoke about her organization, the Anti-Racist Mental Health Alliance, and the importance of having diversity in the mental health field in order to best serve those in need. For more information go to www.armha-nj.org Dr. Esquillin is pictured at left receiving a donation from club president, Julie Murphy.
