Last call for free luminary delivery for Island of Lights!

The annual mesmerizing, moving, incandescent illumination of Daniel Island returns on Sunday, December 6. For the fourth year, a nearly contiguous pathway of soft white luminaries will wind its way through the neighborhoods and town center of the island, and it is every resident’s and business owner’s pride and pleasure to participate.

Facilitated as always by the Daniel Island School PTA, the sale of luminary kits – which include luminary bags, sand, and candles – is underway. Bundles to make 10 luminaries are available for $18, 20 luminaries for $32, and 50 luminaries for $60. Kits can be purchased at dispta.org, or by using the form placed on resident mailboxes and dropping off with payment at Daniel Island School. Orders must be placed by December 3, and kits can be picked up at the DIS back bus loop on Saturday, December 5 from 9 a.m. to noon.

But here’s the best deal: order by November 20 (look at the calendar- if you are reading your Daniel Island News on a timely basis, you haven’t missed it…), and get FREE delivery of your luminary kits to your home! Now, I don’t know about you, but I love having festive stuff show up at my front door.

On Sunday, December 6, simply assemble and light your luminaries along your front street curb by 6 p.m., then stroll the island (preferably with hot chocolate in one hand and another hand in the other hand) to take in what has become one of the loveliest island collaborations. Luminaries should be extinguished at 8:30 p.m.

All proceeds benefit the Daniel Island School PTA, so that warm glow feels even warmer knowing it is doing some good for island students and their educators.
