SUMMARY:Wilton Menorah Lighting on the Town Green
DESCRIPTION:The Menorah Lighting to usher in Hanukkah in Wilton takes place this Sunday\, Dec. 22 at 5 p.m. on Wilton Center’s Town Green. Hosted by The Schneerson Center of CT and led by Rabbi Levi Stone\, the lighting takes place on the first night of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah\, which begins that evening and ends on Dec. 30. \nThe public is invited to join Wilton officials as the menorah is lit. The event will feature live holiday music\, donuts\, hot potato latkes\, dreidels and other holiday giveaways. These family friendly events are geared to all ages. \nHanukkah\, the festival of lights\, celebrates the victory of the Maccabees over the Greek Syrian oppressors in the land of Israel in 160 BCE and the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem with the lighting of the Menorah. Although they had only one day’s supply of olive oil\, it miraculously lasted eight full days until new oil was obtained. The Menorah is a symbol of hope and freedom. Hanukkah is celebrated for eight consecutive days with the lighting of one candle the first night and adding an additional light each night until all eight are lit.  \nFor more information call 203.635.4118 or visit the Schneerson Center website.

The benefits are endless! Here are the top reasons: \n\nWelcome all of our new neighbors to Wilton\, as well as connect with those we’ve known for longer.\nIncrease a sense of belonging in the community\nGet outside\, make friends and have fun – no excuses are needed to celebrate\nFind neighborhood playmates for your children\nOpportunity for face-to-face connection and conversation\nMeet some of the long-standing neighbors and learn about your community history\nDecrease stress of snow days\, storms\, and emergency situations\nCreate a neighborhood contact list\n\nHow to have a block party? Be a Block Party Captain! Here are some helpful tips: \n\nKeep it simple and low-key (try not to go overboard\, it can make people feel the event is too much work)\nRecruit another neighbor or 2 to help.\nDecide on a location (road\, common space\, or yard).\nDecide what day and time work best for your neighborhood.\nDecide on the type of event – picnic\, barbecue\, potluck\, etc.\nEstablish block boundaries (use natural neighborhood boundaries where possible) to include approximately 20-30 houses. Remember those on adjacent busier roads.\nHave a child create the flyer to put in mailboxes.\nDistribute the flyer in all invited mailboxes — children love to do this task!\nRemember\, keep it simple. Think old-fashioned block parties.\nFinally\, be sure to follow any state and CDC guidelines\n\nWe suggest making a flyer to put in 20-30 mailboxes of neighbors (especially helpful if you don’t know your neighbors) Tips for your flyer: \n\nShare some of the reasons to have a block party (see above).\nSolicit opinions on how to handle the food.\nSuggest possible dates and times for the event.\nUse the flyer to encourage attendance.\nInclude your contact information so your neighbors can email or call you if they would like to help. Most participating neighborhoods have had two or three residents offer to help.\n\nNote Regarding Road Closures: \nWilton Police discourage residents from officially closing their roads – emergency vehicles need to be able to pass. Permits for road closures will only be considered for dead-end roads. To obtain such a permit\, signatures are required from all residents\, plus various town departments. Instead\, some neighborhoods have decided to have their block party in someone’s yard\, at the end of a driveway\, or on the side of their road without obstructing traffic. Experienced block party planners suggest using a combination of balloons\, signs that read “Caution Block Party in Progress\,” and orange cones to alert drivers to the party in progress. \nBlock Party Survival Checklist: \n\nSignage for oncoming cars\nName tags (consider including name\, address\, how long you’ve lived here)\nSign-in sheet (names\, kids’ ages\, address\, phone number\, email address and if your child babysits)\nBug spray and/or citronella candles\nFirst Aid kit\nMusic player\nGarbage bags and recycle bin\nPlates\, napkins\, plastic/silverware\, cups\nPaper towels/wet wipes for cleanup\nCoolers or beverage containers with plenty of ice — don’t forget a bottle opener\nCommunity table(s) for food/drinks and tablecloth(s)\nSunscreen\nHand sanitizer or wipes\nOutdoor games – i.e. Cornhole\, Giant Jenga\, sack races\, egg toss\nFlashlights\, headlamps\, or glow necklaces for children after dark\nConsider hiring a lifeguard\, if children will be near a pool\n\nOn Facebook\, visit “Wilton’s Big Block Party Weekend.”  Organizers are asking residents to share their plans by commenting on the pinned post at the top of the page.

SUMMARY:Comstock Hill Cemetery Cleanup with Wilton Land Conservation Trust and Drum Hill Chapter NSDAR
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Independence Day 2021 and the 246th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War\, the Wilton Land Conservation Trust\, in partnership with the Drum Hill Chapter NSDAR\, invites the community to celebrate our nation’s Independence by stewarding the Comstock Hill Cemetery. The community workday will improve the trail and final resting grounds for seven Revolutionary War patriots. \nThis workday will focus on the trail that winds through the cemetery\, general brush maintenance\, and the hand-pulling of invasive species. Volunteers will dig\, rake\, and cut to improve the trails and clear overhanging vegetation. \nVolunteers will meet on Sunday\, June 27\, at 1:30 p.m. (rain or shine) at the Signal Hill Road trail entrance. Work should wrap up at about 3:00 – 3:30 p.m. Wilton Land Conservation Trust staff will be onsite to provide instruction and ensure everyone stays safe. \nIt’s recommended that volunteers should wear long pants\, a long-sleeved shirt\, sturdy boots\, and gloves. In addition\, bring water\, snacks\, lunch\, and work gloves. WLCT Staff will provide tools\, but participants are always welcome to bring their tools: loppers\, hand saws\, rakes\, hand trowels\, etc. \nPARKING:\nVolunteers are invited to park along the roadside of Signal Hill Road. While we don’t have an address for the cemetery\, we recommend parking roadside near 231 Signal Hill Road. Please be mindful of our neighbor’s lawns and driveways. Parking on Ridgefield Road can be dangerous and is not recommended
