For community members impacted by suicide and overdose, Darkness to Light is an outdoor sunrise gathering, marking brighter days ahead after the solstice, which is the day with the smallest amount of daylight. Julie Brown, who led the event each year, will return to lead the group with a message of support and moment of silence as the sun rises on the morning of the winter solstice. The event will be rain, snow, or shine and is free to attend thanks to the support of Seven Hills Developments. Organizers are asking guests to arrive by 7:30 a.m. as sunrise is expected at 7:45 a.m. that morning. There will be a table set up in the parking lot with lights to guide you where to go.
