We have a luminaria ceremony at 9pm the first evening of the Relay and line the track with these bags. This committee keeps records of all luminaria purchased and sells luminarias at all meetings. It also places all luminaria bags around the track, and puts together the power point program for the Saturday evening Luminaria Service.
