The annual luminary sale to benefit the J.C. Booth Middle School band program is again underway. Band students are selling luminary kits for $4. Each kit contains six bags, six candles and sand. Proceeds from the sale are used for instruments, music and other program expenses.

Traditional luminary lightings are on Christmas Eve, with many area neighborhoods participating. Bags, weighted with sand and holding a lit candle, are placed along street curbs, walkways and driveways at about six-foot intervals.

The sale ends October 26, and kits will be delivered by the end of November. If you would like for a band student to call on you, please call the luminary chairman, Cathy Nelmes, at 678-522-4256, or e-mail a request to cnelmes@earthlink.net.
