Residents ask council to promote ‘2 Lights for Tomorrow’ commemoration on April 18
Summary
Melissa and Jeff Eason asked the council to publicize a national commemoration called '2 Lights for Tomorrow' on April 18 to mark Paul Revere's ride and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Residents Melissa and Jeff Eason addressed the council during public comment to ask the town to promote an April 18 local participation in a national initiative called “2 Lights for Tomorrow.”
Melissa Eason, who said she is a state officer for the National Society of Colonial Dames of America (NSCDA), described 2 Lights for Tomorrow as a nationwide effort tied to the America 250 commemoration marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. The initiative asks households and public buildings to place two lights in windows on the night of April 18 to recall the Old North Church signal — “one if by land, two if by sea” — and to reflect on civic history and local patriotism.
Eason told council that Trophy Club’s designation as the “Texas town of patriotism” made the program a natural fit and asked the council to help promote participation in town communications. The mayor replied that the event would appear on the Town Hall marquee to help remind residents. Melissa and Jeff said they would place two lights in their front windows.
The request was received as public comment; the transcript records the presentation and the mayor’s brief response but offers no formal council action.
