Dear Villagers,
  

This past weekend, the Village celebrated the Lantern Festival at the Bartlet Mall by hanging lanterns on an elm tree in memory of our members who have passed away since our start in 2016. Village President Paul Harrington personalized lanterns for each of our former members. At dusk the candles lit up one lantern at a time, member Kitty Krajci read words of remembrance, and in a moment of silence, we held our former members in our thoughts. We remember and miss      Eunice Campbell      Alan Ward      Carole Clark      Annie Tunstall      David Jones
