ATTN Civic Leagues, Homeowner Associations, and Churches or Synagogs

If you would like to participate in Share Your Light Night, be sure to make your intentions known now.

We had 15 neighborhoods participate last year and hope to double that number this year. However at the same time, we want to insure we have enough safe and reusable luminaries for you to share with your neighbors or groups. Please write or call in if you are wanting to help further unite our citizens.

As you may have read in earlier archeived posts, this event will be held at 7PM each December on the second Saturday. This year it will be Saturday December 13th. The proposed raindate will be the 14th. If for some reason it is too windy or rainy and a question comes up, please check this website for the latest information as the time draws near.

AGAIN, if you are wishing to participate again in this event, please email or call us to let us know you're uniting with us and other neighborhoods.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

How strongly do you SUPPORT (or not) the right for leagues, homeowner associations, volunteer not-for-profits and other groups to be able to advertise (meetings, events, etc.) through the use of temporary, portable, or stake-type signage without worry of having our group signs removed from the streets or banned altogether?

We want to hear from you. Please take less than one minute and have your voice heard. Click here to have your thoughts and feelings heard.

DO YOU WANT TO HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Illuminate that golden thread that unites us all... be part of Share Your Light Night each year.

WHAT: Luminaries are illuminated bags set in a line creating a ribbon of light symbolizing neighborhood unity.

WHEN: EVERY YEAR - Generally held on the second Saturday in December each year starting between 6-7PM. It could also be organized for National Night Out in August, or every year for 9-11.

The official time and date is set by each neighborhood organization (civic league, neighborhood watch, unite community neighbor leaders). Each participating group from this time forward are invited to be part of this blog so that they can share their stories, photos, and success.

WHERE: Along the edge of property lines or common areas when permission is granted.

HOW: Coordinate through your Civic League, HOA/Condo Association, Neighborhood Watch group, House of Worship or other community based group. However, as an individual, you can seed this event on your own by getting 3 or so of your neighbors to participate with you.

WHY: SEE LIST BELOW - BENEFITS

THE COST: It depends upon you and your neighborhood organization. For more information, contact Illuminate A Cause, LLC at 757-714-2772.

BENEFITS - What difference can this event make?

One word:
EMPOWERMENT...

FOR THE CITY:
By empowering citizens to show solidarity, citizens will work as partners with each other, local Police Departments, Parks and Rec and youth to create solutions to crime and other social issues.

FOR UNITED NEIGHBOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS:
Empowerment and improved safety and security for the neighborhood. Validation of the value of civic leagues and homeowner associations.

FOR NEIGHBORHOODS:
Neighborhood unity and camaraderie, a safer community less prone to vandalism.

FOR THE CITIZENS:
Better communications and closer relationships between the citizens, civic leagues, city representatives and law enforcement agencies is a good thing. It reduces cost and improves efficiency.
