It's hard to believe the holiday season is just around the corner. Once again it is time to plan for the purchase and installation of the annual holiday lights that turn Hudson into the Currier & Ives setting we love and look forward to each year.
Since 1948, the Hudson Community Services Association (HCSA) has organized and raised funds for the annual Community Holiday Lighting Program. While the city of Hudson government pays for the installation and power to run the lights, HCSA collects donations from local businesses, foundations and private citizens to fund the lights, cords and greenery that transform Hudson into a winter wonderland.
Again this year, we are asking for your help to continue this welcomed tradition. The cost for this program approaches $10,000 annually. HCSA relies totally on the support of Hudson citizens and businesses for this program. Your financial support is urgently needed. If 100 households donated $100 each, HCSA would have the funding for this year's lights. Without the community's continued support, the program would not be possible.
I want to thank everyone who donated last year and ask that you please join Debbie and me in donating this year. We are committing one month's of my mayor's pay to support this well-honored and important tradition.
Please send your tax deductible donation to The Hudson Community Services Association, P.O. Box 284, Hudson, OH 44236. Make checks payable to HCSA Holiday Lighting Fund. HCSA is a 501 (C3) organization that provides a tax credit and receipt with your donation. I thank all of you in advance for supporting this worthy cause.
William A. Currin
Mayor, city of Hudson
