The Lions of Sun City – Huntley will hold their eleventh annual tradition of lighting up Del Webb neighborhoods with luminaries on Christmas Eve. The Lions will supply the materials for the luminaries and ask each home owner to contribute a minimum of $7 per home or $12 for homes located on corner lots to cover the additional supplies. The materials would consist of enough bags, candles (3” tall x 1.5’ dia) and sand to have one every 9-10 feet across the outside of the front sidewalk. The materials will be delivered starting about two weeks prior to Christmas. The luminaries would be set out and lit about 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve. The candles will burn for several hours.
The funds raised will be used locally for the purchase of eye glasses for needy children, Grafton Food Pantry, McHenry County Charities (Shop with a Cop), Camp Lions for Blind and Hearing Impaired children, Veterans Home in Hebron, and Home of the Sparrow.
