Bunco Club (monthly):
Gate Post Estates has a women's
bunco group. We are comprised of
16 permanent members who meet the 1st
Thursday of every month for an evening
of fun, food, laughter and
bunco. We take turns hosting in
our homes on a monthly basis.
Bunco is an extremely easy dice game
which can be learned in 3 minutes or
less! We are always
looking for subs to be on our
list. For more information on

Luminaria
(December):
“Lighting up Gate Post Estates”
with Luminaria is a tradition in our
community. The simplicity of the
Luminaria (a brown bag, sand, and a
single candle) provides a striking
example of how one simple light, when
gathered together in great numbers,
can transform any environment.
When lit, the community becomes a
beautiful spectacle of shimmering
roads of light. The tradition
has its roots in the Southwest and
Mexico, where the simple lanterns were
used by the people as part of an
elaborate community re-enactment of
Mary and Joseph’s journey to
Bethlehem. For more
information on Luminaria - Wikipedia
Volunteers from throughout the
development (Gate Post I and Gate Post
II) create and deploy the over 2500
bags on the streets during the
afternoon and the residents are asked
to light those in front of your house
at 5:00pm. If your neighbor
isn’t home, feel free to light theirs
and any others near you. The
Luminaria should last a couple of
hours. After they extinguish
themselves, you are asked to pick
those up in front of your house and
simply throw them away. Please
wait until 5:00pm or sundown to light
your Luminaria.
