Bethany Dean of Students Jerry
Stebbins (right) and I met with Katherine Warren, Chair of Light Up Night, to
discuss final details of this year’s event. Light Up Night and Charity
Christmas Tree Auction will be Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m. in Commencement Hall. The
evening begins with the official lighting of the tree, and includes a charity
tree auction, a choir performance and a variety of holiday presentations.
The trees that are up for auction will be decorated in various holiday themes,
and all proceeds will go to Bernie’s Kids. The charity, which is named in honor
of the late Brooke County sheriff and commissioner Bernie Kazienko, provides
Christmas presents for needy children in the county. Children in
attendance can write a letter to Santa, and can also get their picture taken
with him.The Bethany College Choir will perform holiday songs, and educational
presentations will be held on some of the major holidays including Christmas,
Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
