Dear Neighbors,
We hope you have enjoyed the lamp post decorations this year. It was nice to add some extra sparkle to the longer, colder, nights.
I think we have at least three new neighbors (welcome!) that may not be aware of how the lamppost maintenance works. Here is a link to a website we created that pretty thoroughly explains this quirky, but fun, project that started way back in the 90s!

As you may have noticed from the “for sale” sign in front of our house, we will soon be leaving this lovely neighborhood. (We’re headed to new adventures in the Finger Lakes region of New York.) This has all happened very quickly and we deeply appreciate Gerry and Chris (@1742) volunteering to step in as the new lamppost caretakers/committee.
We have closed the Wilson Street Lighting account at Key Bank and transferred the cash to Jerry and Chris. The lighting project currently has a balance of $314.80, which exceeds the reserve amount suggested by the project founders. We are not asking for additional funds at this time. (There is a link to the accounting on the website as well.) Thank you so much for donating your dollars over the years, and helping to make our holidays brighter! We will miss this little job and the community spirit that has kept it going.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth and Chris Braymen
