Unite by Light 2021 - December 5, 2021

We need your help to bring this incredible event to town! Help us assemble and light more than 1,000 luminaries. People of any age can play a part in assembling; adults 18+ and high school seniors can light the luminaries. We also need help cleaning up the morning after. 

We need 4 volunteers to help us with the drive-through luminary pick-up. You'll be given an assignment for the drive-through route and some people will load boxes of luminaries into the cars of luminary lighters (2-4 pm). Please arrive at Boy Scout Hall at 2:00 pm to receive instructions and help us organize the boxes of luminaries. You'll be outside, so dress warm!

And we need 50 adults/high school seniors to help us light the luminaries (3-5 pm)! Families can participate with youth placing the luminaries and parents lighting them.

Update 12/4/20: We'll be doing a socially distanced, drive-through luminary pickup for the volunteer luminary lighters. You'll receive an email on Saturday with details and will be asked to drive into the First Church parking lot off of West St. at either 3:00 pm or 3:20 pm.

Please bring a long-handled grill lighter with you to light your luminaries! 

First, we'll collect your volunteer agreement and photo release (please scroll down to print these 2 sheets of paper and bring the completed forms with you).

Then you'll be given a location assignment & safety vests. You'll pop your trunk and boxes of luminaries will be placed in your car.

You'll exit the parking lot onto Hopmeadow St., drive to your designated location, and place & light 20 luminaries with your own lighter. 

Then you'll return your safety vests to us at Boy Scout Hall. 

Please note that, if you intend to place 20 luminaries as a family, you should only sign up one adult in your family. If you sign up 2 people, you are agreeing to place 40 luminaries. If you sign up 3 people, you are agreeing to place 60 luminaries, etc.
