The Greendale Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Village of Greendale, will conduct the Village’s Annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony on Friday, November 28, 2008 in front of Village Hall, 6500 Northway. The ceremony will include a community sing-along beginning at 6:30 p.m. led by the Greendale High School Choir. Village President John Hermes will then begin the count down to the lighting of the holiday lights throughout the Village Center at 6:50 p.m. Shortly thereafter, Santa Claus will arrive to provide treats to all the “good little boys and girls.”

As an extra attraction this year, Greendale welcomes the United States Marine Corps Reserve and the Toys for Tots program. During the holiday season and year-round, attendees of the holiday lighting ceremony are asked to remember the less fortunate children of the area and make voluntary monetary donations to support this worthy program. Due to space limitations, donors are asked to make monetary donations in lieu of donating toys. Marines will honor the event with their attendance and thank donors for their generosity.

Greendale residents and visitors are invited to the Holiday Lighting Ceremony to kick off the holiday season. The community is reminded to Shop Greendale 1st and support local Chamber of Commerce and Greendale Village Business Association (GVBA) businesses.

For further information, please contact Ms. Lynn Magner, Chamber of Commerce President at (414) 699-4566.
