Volunteers Needed for Luminaria Event and Preparation

Volunteer Assistance is needed making up the Luminaria Bags and for setting the bags out and lighting them at the event. This is a one time event, no advance training needed. Extra volunteers are welcome so bring a friend, many hands make for lighter work. Luminaria Sunday, December 16th, has the highest visitation of any event at the Dana-Thomas House. Be a part of this beloved Holiday Tradition!

On Sunday December 16th, (Event Date) we will have a work party to set out the bags and start lighting them at 3 pm.  (Weather permitting.) If you are interested in helping out, please contact the Site Volunteer Coordinator Margo Carlen at margo.carlen@illinois.gov
