About Wellesley Hills Junior Women's Club:
WHJWC has served the town of Wellesley since 1944. In July 2010, WHJWC was granted tax-exempt status as a charitable organization under section 501(c)(3), enabling our supporters, including Luminary Night participants, to claim their donations as a tax deduction. Through our four fundraisers – the Wellesley Phone Book, Wellesley Marketplace, Luminary Night, and the Kitchen Tour – the WHJWC raises money that is donated back to our community.

How to create your luminaries:
Please count the components to ensure that you have the correct number per kit:
- 10 tea lights
- 10 plastic containers with lids
- 10 white paper bags
- 10 double-sided foam tape squares
Please follow these instructions and light the candles by 5:00pm on Luminary Night:
- Remove the protective cover from each of the squares of tape and adhere to the bottom of tea candles, then to the center of each of the 10 lids.
- Fill each plastic container about ¾ full of tap water; place the lid on each of the containers.
- Insert each completed container in the white luminary bag.
- Set the completed bags 5 to 8 feet apart on a nonflammable surface along your property, walkway, and/or driveway.
For safety, designate someone to monitor the burning luminaries. The tea candles will stay lit for 4-6 hours. Ensure that the luminaries are completely extinguished before disposing of them appropriately. If the weather is questionable, please visit our website at www.whjwc.org for updates throughout that day.
