THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 14, 2025 Page 9 Friends of Fellsmere Heights’ upcoming events T he seed catalogs have been flowing in, bringing hope that spring may be just around the corner. Save those bottles for the Lantern Walk! Those of you who joined us for last August’s Lantern Walk will remember that we offered folks two options: 1. Pre-decorated lanterns; 2. Lanterns that were covered with white tissue paper but that could be decorated with markers and stickers. We also switched to LED light strings from candles. These changes were very well received! We gave out nearly all the LED light strings we had to offer, and almost everyone took home their lanterns. (Apparently, people prefer a light they can turn on and off without involving fire!) In fact, because the lanterns were so popular, we no longer have three-liter “blank” soda bottles to offer. We do still have about 20 pre-decorated lanterns to offer during this year’s Lantern Walk. On the other hand, because we’re now using LED lights, we aren’t limited to huge bottles! We’re also hoping for more growth in 2025, so we are planning on an additional 80 bottle lanterns to cover with paper before the event. To do this, we need to collect at least 80 plastic bottles suitable for decorating, and we need your help! • What is a good lantern bottle? Any clear plastic bottle can become a lantern! These can be one- and two-liter soda bottles, quart juice bottles or any other plastic bottle with straight sides and labels that can be easily peeled off. (Unfortunately, textured water, juice and milk bottles don’t work – we can’t paste paper onto them.) • What do we do with these bottles? Please make sure your bottles are clean inside and peel the labels off if you have time. When you’ve collected more bottles than you want to store, please send an email to info@fellsmereheights.com, and we will come and collect them. That’s it! Later in the year, we’ll host a bottle-covering workshop to prep the bottles for the Lantern Walk. What’s great is that, while soda and seltzer bottles can be returned for a deposit, many of our other bottles cannot. So, instead of tossing them into the recycling stream, let’s repurpose them into lanterns! Please let us know if you plan to save bottles for us. February Meeting: Our next meeting will be Saturday, February 15, 2025, on Zoom. As usual, the Steering Team will meet from 9:30 to 10:30, and the general meeting will run from 10:30 to 11:30. All supporters and members can join at any time. A small change: We usually ask people who want to attend to visit a website page for access to the Zoom code and to RSVP, but that extra step takes some significant work behind the scenes. So, unless we run into security issues, we’re going to just invite all of you in. The Zoom link is here: https://us02web.zoom.us/ j/82347050522?pwd=GTh4GrZV8JsmgawMOluZd8NXXNtsxy.1. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting! 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!
