MONTCLAIR - The city will hold its annual free community tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. at the Montclair Youth Center, 5111 Benito St., next to City Hall. The event will begin with a community holiday sing-along led by the Our Lady of Lourdes School Children's Choir. Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive via fire truck to light the outdoor community tree and will then be available for complimentary family photos. Inside the Youth Center, children can bring a letter to Santa or write one there. All letters that include a legible address will receive a response letter from Santa. In addition, there will be refreshments and entertainment by the Montclair Walkers Choral Group. Community members can buy gift lights on the community tree in honor or in memory of loved ones. Lights are available for $10 each with money raised used to benefit youth programs in Montclair. Participants are encouraged to bring a canned good, packaged, nonperishable food item or new, unwrapped toy to the event for the city's holiday food and toy basket program. The event is sponsored by the Montclair Community Action Committee and the Montclair-Ontario Junior Women's Club. Information: 909-625-9479 or www.cityofmontclair.org.
