The 4th annual Chanukah in Carefree Celebration concluded last night. It was organized by Karen Acker, who opened the program, and Ora Kurland. It was hosted by the Town of Carefree in the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion. Karen and Ora's fellow committee members were Daryl Perlman and Marty Scherer. Karen and Ora thanked Mayor Les Peterson, Vice Mayor John Crane, and Carefree's Director of Economic Development Steve Prokopek for working with them. Covid-19 protocols of mask wearing and social distance seating within the Pavilion were observed.
The event was sponsored by APS, Tech4Life, the Jewish Social Group of Cave Creek and Carefree, On the Map, Bertram Signs and Graphics, MCSO, and the JV Sports Show. Temple Chai donated the 6-1/2' tall Menorah. Donations to the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center were solicited as this year's charitable beneficiary. Donations continue to be welcomed. The button to donate to SWWCC can be found on the website www.visitcarefree.com/chanukah-in-carefree-arizona/
Each of the 8 nights, Mayor Peterson or Vice Mayor Crane welcomed the participants. It was livestreamed by Councilman Vince D'Aliesio and also recorded by Herbert. Some of the videos in this newsletter are a combination of Vince and Herbert's efforts and some are just Herbert's videos. It was a wonderful program, as always. Enjoy watching the celebration of Chanukah, The Festival of Lights!
