“Hopefully people start calling in the service early,” said coordinator Shanon Guglielmini. “It’s going to be a very, very busy night. So, anybody that wants to call a ride home after midnight it’s going to be very, very busy, so hopefully people are patient and they can have another cup of cheer and wait for our volunteers to get there.”
