Necklace of Lights

NECKLACE OF LIGHTS 

With the foresight and leadership of the Late Merritt 
Breakfast Club, original sponsor of Children's Fairyland, and the
inspiration of Emelyn K. Jewett, the Necklace of Lights around 
Lake Merritt has been restored and is dedicated to the people of 
Oakland and surrounding communities, with special thanks to the 
man individuals, businesses, organizations, the City of Oakland, 
County and State agencies that generously donated the funds 
and expertise to make the Necklace of Lights a reality and 
serve as a reminder to future generations that an Oakland 
landmark was saved and once again reflects the beauty 
of man's partnership with nature.
