Kiwanis Club of Weston

Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Weston, Connecticut! We are an eclectic mix of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds, and interests. We are all passionate about making Weston and the world a better place for children so they can thrive. Since 1974, we have been serving the children of Weston, Fairfield County, across Connecticut, the country, and worldwide through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives.

Happy Holidays from Kiwanis

Led by Steve Thomas, Weston Kiwanians expertly installed the “Happy Holidays” wreath on Saturday, November 29, on Weston’s historic onion barn.

We believe this is our best wreath ever! This year’s enhancements include two large blinking red bows 🎀, gold bells 🔔, colorful lights,…and the sign is straight!

Weston Gardens provided the greens. The onion barn wreath team members included David McConnaughey, Dave Burns, Steve Thomas, Frank Ferrara, Bill Brady, Harry Spencer, and Tom Failla (not pictured). Jess DiPasquale is providing free electricity⚡️ from his nearby property, so the beautiful, large wreath is visible in the evening.

This annual tradition in Weston is on par with the Christmas tree 🎄 at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Weston Kiwanis hopes all Westonites enjoy the wreath, have happy holidays, and share their pictures.
