Hi Everyone,

David’s Grandma (Mona) has broken down the event by time zones because folks were contacting her. Thank you Stacey H. for creating this event, we are very grateful.

Event: “Light up the Sky” for David Grunwald.

David’s family and friends in “the lower 48” who want to participate in honoring David on December 24th, please read:

This event is scheduled in Palmer, Alaska for 5:00pm AK time. Since we live in different time zones, our scheduled times are:

Pacific: 6:00pm
Mountain: 7:00pm
Central: 8:00pm
Eastern: 9:00pm

Please put this event on your calendar for Dec 24th and note the time.

Balloons, Chinese lanterns, or porch lights can be used – whatever you choose – to light up the sky for David.
