Dear Fellow Elyrians,
The holidays are fast approaching and as your Mayor I am
again asking you to join me in supporting our community’s Holiday Lights
program. Your donation is needed and will be very much appreciated as we join
together as a community to make sure that ALL of Elyria’s children and families
have the opportunity to enjoy this very special season.
On Saturday,
December 3 we will kick-off festivities in and around Ely Square and at
Finwood Estate. Both displays, and the
array of free, family-friendly activities that accompany them, make the hope
and joy of the season accessible to everyone.
Your donation will help us provide gift bags for children,
refreshments, holiday crafts, and a Petting Zoo complete with reindeer. As Mayor I will fund a free book give-away
and our civic organizations and churches will provide a North Pole experience;
ice sculpting; a coat, scarf, mitten and hat give-away; and more. And thanks to past contributions, the City
will gain be able to provide a magnificent holiday lights display at both
locations.
Elyria truly is a caring community and you can be a
beacon of hope and goodwill by becoming a Holiday Lights donor. A donation in any amount is appreciated and
is tax-deductible. Checks should be made out to the City of Elyria – notation line:
Holiday Lights Program – and mailed to:
Mayor Holly Brinda – Elyria City Hall – 131 Court Street, Suite 301 –
Elyria, Ohio 44035.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. And I certainly hope that you will join us on
December 3 and make a lasting memory with your loved ones! If you have questions or suggestions, please
feel free to call my office at any time at 326-1402.
In the spirit of the season,
Holly C. Brinda, MPA
Mayor
P.S. – Thank you again
for your continued support. Your
donation will brighten the life of a child in our community.
