Beautiful new cedar tables, assembled and finished by the Kiwanis Club of Weston, debuted at Lachat Town Farm’s most popular and anticipated Springtime community event today, Saturday, March 30, 2024, the Spring Egg Hunt.
There was no better place for children to welcome in Spring and hunt for colorful eggs than the meadows and hills at Lachat.
Children searched Lachat’s expansive meadow for eggs and turned them in for an “egg” citing prize. Children visited Lachat’s real-live bunnies and chicks, enjoyed beautiful music, painted their faces, and participated in crafts. Children visited Lacaht’s special Springtime Smores Bar in the barn. And photo ops with the Spring Bunny rounded out this perfect event!
Kiwanis Community Service Committee members led the assembly and finishing of five anonymously-donated stout cedar tables just last weekend, expanding the inventory of tables just in time to support the wide variety of events at the Lachat Town Farm at the Juliana Lachat Preserve on Godfrey Road. The tables join other tables donated and finished by Kiwanis in 2016.

Upcoming events
Beakfast meeting. Speaker: Steve Haas, Getting to Know Your Fellow Kiwanian (GTKYFK)
With a great-grandfather who was a mason who worked on some of Europe’s finest concert halls and a grandfather who was a concert pianist and violinist who played with numerous orchestras, including the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra, Steve was destined to make his mark in the field of music and acoustics. Steve now has more than thirty years of experience in residential and commercial acoustic and audio design. He has been lead acoustic and audio consultant on numerous award-winning projects such as the Newseum (Washington, DC), Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture (D.C.), the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (Winnipeg, Manitoba), Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall (NYC) and hundreds of other museum & performing arts projects. He is currently involved in making the exhibits at the new Obama Presidential Center in Chicago sound amazing!
Steve is equally proud of his design and calibration of many private theaters, live music spaces, recording studios, listening rooms, and a vast plethora of some of the most unique and unexpected spaces to be found in many serene, welcoming homes throughout the world. An accomplished musician and inventor of Concertino, the world’s first acoustic enhancement system designed specifically for private performance, presentation, and recording environments, Steve is often sought out as an industry expert. He has been invited to speak at seminars and conventions worldwide. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University, with a focus on acoustics and music. In his free time, Steve enjoys playing keyboards in several groups, mixing live sound, boxing, and pretending to be better at basketball and tennis than he actually is.
