The 2017 Peace Lantern Ceremony ended with a debt of $2,104. An additional $4,207 is needed to cover pre-event payments for supplies and services for 2019. (Total event cost is approximately $12,000.) Retiring the 2017 debt and establishing the initial fund for 2020 will allow planning to proceed for the next public ceremony.
