Let It Glow required two full weeks of location transformation which was coordinated with 30+ teens from Career & College Academy and the Youth Builders program. Additional helper elves (Amanda, Shelly, Eric & William) came during the day and night to help string lights, pack batteries, stuff candy bags, fluff trees and string garland. Three teams of volunteers, one arriving each night of Let It Glow, played the part of Santa's helpers for all the families eager to see Santa and enjoy some holiday fun! Cookies were decorated, magical reindeer food was packed and children went home with a renewed Christmas twinkle in their eye.
"Oh what fun" doesn't fully capture all the holiday hoopla and winter flare that took place here in the Elkhorn Community. To truly understand you must come and see. As this year winds down and we all take a moment to reflect, it's my hope you'll also spend time being intentional about what you plan for the new year. Consider your time, consider your talents and consider the treasures you might share when you think about what's yet to come! The holiday season, the season of giving, is in full swing! We wish you a joyful month and from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being part of the Elkhorn Chamber and part of this amazing community.
#Tis the Season,
