Despite the less-than-ideal weather and communications, plus the numerous unknowns for the first of more car shows, around 50 show cars came and went at the inaugural Weston Car Classic at Weston High School on Sunday, September 29, 2024. This event benefitted All Kids Moving Forward Inc., established to advance sports activity through scholarships for children from all over the world who are overcoming medical conditions and other challenges in their lives.
With sufficient attendees and a superb job done by the Kiwanis volunteers, particularly Dan Lerner and Harvey Luft, letting folks know where to park and that “attendance was free, but we were accepting donations,” that resulted in a huge success! Estimated cash, credit card, and a few Venmo donations are $1,600 for the four-hour event, which exceeded our expectations.
We thank all the volunteers for making this a success. We want to give recognition again to Dan, who originally signed up to stay for a few hours but decided to stay to the end and pulled in so many donations, resulting in our win. Also, Hutch, Dave Burns, and Tom Failla were up early to hand out Reservoir Run flyers and came to the car show for the duration.
After the show, Harry and I spent 30 minutes discussing the Spring car show All Kids Moving Forward wants Kiwanis to run with them and how we can improve on it. Kiwanis will take the lead in the event and will be able to do the planning that Frank pointed out was missing [that observation alone gives Frank a spot on the car show committee].
Altogether, Kiwanis put 50 hours of community service into this event just yesterday.
