Bravo! Amazing! Over the top! Congratulations! Thank you, Sun Lakes community, for your support of Unit 36C’s Diamond Lake Luminaria and Food Donation Drive for AZCEND, our local food bank. The impact you make on those who struggle for basic daily needs is just astonishing! Your non-perishable and monetary donations exceeded all years! AZCEND is so grateful to our community for the continued support. Thank you for attending and supporting this event for AZCEND.
We also want to thank the Sun Lakes community members who volunteered their time to provide entertainment during our event: Suzy Steinmann, RoseAnn Kuefner, Laura Fial & Friends, Ray Ficek (video), Ron Anderson and Ray Elms (Santas), the Sun Lakes Chorus, and The Chordaires. All helped to make a very fun and festive event.
The MCSO volunteers were there to make sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable evening. Thank you to Glenn Osborne, Michael Johnson, Ken Hinatsu, Stephen Brown, Victor Tyus, Ramon Rubio, and Marco Vasquez for their time and efforts to ensure safety.
Unit 36C did an outstanding job decorating their backyards and placing and lighting more than 1,000 real tea candle luminaries at the lake’s edge, making the atmosphere so beautiful and joyful to walk around.
Our HOA provided the signage and luminary supplies of bags and candles. We appreciate your continued support.
It takes many people to make an event like this happen. Most are behind the scenes. Special thank you to our Luminary Committee members: Luminary coordinators Al and Deb Silverstein; publicity, Sandy Ketterer; traffic safety, Darrell Hixson; and greeter Carol Mellinger.
The committee members are already planning for next year! It’s always held on the second Saturday and Sunday of December. See you there!
