BAYWOOD BULLETIN DECEMBER 2024


NOMINATE YOUR FAVORITE 2024 BAYWOOD HOLIDAY LIGHTS BY SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15


Our Best of Baywood Holiday Lights Competition is here again! Holiday lights and decorations add a wonderful feel to our neighborhood and are a welcome reminder of the holiday season. Every June and December, a "Best of Baywood" plaque is awarded to a residence with outstanding appeal. The December award recognizes the effort and beauty of holiday light displays.


As always, we are collecting nominations from members of the community. Please like our BNA Facebook page to share your recommendations. You also can vote for your favorite decorated home by emailing us at baywoodneighborhood@gmail.com or messaging us at www.baywoodneighborhood.org.


This is a great chance to get out to walk our beautiful Baywood neighborhood! Nominations must be made by Sunday, December 15th. The winner will be able to display a "Best of Baywood" plaque outside their home and will receive a $100 gift certificate to the San Mateo merchant of their choice.


Looking forward to the bright lights sparkling around the neighborhood and to receiving lots of Holiday Lights nominations!
