    — Imagine Warwick will be holding its second annual Circle of Light at the Sanfordville Elementary School Peace Wall on Thursday, Dec. 21, at 6 p.m.
    Imagine Warwick was created by a group of local residents to help honor the rich diversity of our community, while celebrating the imagination and creativity that resides in all of us. Its mission is to build and strengthen our community by providing shared experiences that celebrate the beauty and diversity of the Warwick Valley and all of its people.
    The organization looks to cultivate new and innovative ideas, creativity, intergenerational wisdom and the ability to dream an even better community into being.
    The Peace Wall Memorial (www.peacewallmemorial.org) is located at the Sanfordville Elementary School in Warwick. The memorial was created by 3rd and 4th graders in 2003 in response to the September 11th terrorist attacks and is an expression of the students' hopes for a more peaceful and just world. It exists as a public space for anyone seeking a place to contemplate peace or to pay personal tribute to those impacted by the tragic events of that day.
    On Dec. 21, the Wall will be adorned with luminaries creating a "Circle of Light" instilling a sense of well-being and peace. The event will feature live music and readings by local residents.
    Candles will be given to the first 100 families to arrive. The candles will be lit during the event as a symbol of joy and life-giving power.
    This event is free and open to the public. Park in the Sanfordville Elementary School parking lot and proceed to the Peace Wall. Dress appropriately for the cold weather.
