Westwood In A Minute: Community Chest's Luminary Night Shines a Light on Neighbors in Need

On Sunday, December 8th, Westwood Community Chest (WCC) hosted its annual Luminary Night, an event that invites the community to set paper lanterns around their homes and businesses in a show of support for neighbors in need, while at the same time providing a pleasing sight for passersby.
