As the temperature edges above freezing and the memories of Christmas fade, we wanted to reach out and thank everyone who contributed to the Caroling on God’s Acre. It is truly an effort of many secret Santa’s. From those who work year around to trim and light the tree to the team that annually builds the stage for the Town Band, the Town Band who endure ice cold lips to play the Christmas carols, those who decorate the stage with lights and garland, the song sheet donors, printers and graphic designers, the first responders who come early to ensure everyone’s safety and stay long after we’ve gone, and my fellow committee members and their hours of planning and fund raising.
While these efforts take place in relative anonymity, there is a cost each year. This cost has been paid by the initial fund raising done by the committee, but we need to keep raising money to pay these costs each year.
If this great annual Town wide tradition is one you value, please consider making a donation to the God’s Acre Christmas Caroling Foundation by sending a check to the New Canaan Community Foundation and earmarking it for our fund.
Thanks, and see you next Christmas Eve.
— God’s Acre Christmas Caroling Foundation Committee
