Summary

After a presentation on the Dec. 6 candlelight tour and a discussion about sponsorships and revenue sharing with local nonprofits, council approved a $100 donation to the Legacy Foundation to support the event and display town sponsorship on event materials.

The council approved a $100 donation on Nov. 6 to the Legacy Foundation to support the Centreville holiday candlelight tour. Sharon Cook, introduced as the Legacy Foundation’s president emeritus, presented an update on the tour: the event will include 14 stops (private homes and businesses), an expanded marketing program and a partnership model intended to share proceeds with the historic society and arts council.

Sharon described the tour’s organizational changes (including new 501(c)(3) status), a marketing plan that includes paid social media and mailed Every Door Direct pieces, and an approximate $10,000 sponsorship goal that would fund repairs and programming. She said half the proceeds would go to the historical society with a portion to the arts council.

Councilors discussed whether the town should give funds directly to the historical society or to the Legacy Foundation as a pass‑through; a motion to donate $100 directly to the Legacy Foundation passed by voice vote. Council members and staff offered to help promote the event and explore in‑kind support and sponsor connections.
