Oakwood Unit 36C invites all Sun Lakes residents and their guests to join us for the 21st Annual Diamond Lake Luminaria and Food Donation Walk on Saturday, Dec. 13, and Sunday, Dec. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. Bundle up and bring a flashlight. Enjoy a beautiful stroll around Diamond Lake as you view over 1,000 glowing luminarias on the lake’s edge. Also enjoy the twinkling holiday lights and decorations in the backyards that surround the lake, as well as holiday entertainment. We ask that you bring non-perishable food items to fill the shelves of AZCEND. Monetary donations will also be accepted at both entrances.
Donations to AZCEND help our community’s most vulnerable people. Donations can be made online at azcend.org/luminaria. These donations qualify as an Arizona tax credit (save up to $987 on your taxes). We also will be collecting non-perishable food items at boxes located at the two lake entrances and Stone & Barrel from the day after Thanksgiving through the end of the year. Monetary donations go further, as AZCEND buys in bulk. It also allows them to make complete and healthy meals. So, mark your calendars!
