On Saturday afternoon, Weston Kiwanis members Harvey Luft and Bob Uzenoff kicked off a season of collaboration with the Weston Women’s League. The WWL’s Trunk or Treat event was a fantastic Halloween celebration held in the parking lot of Weston Intermediate School. Schoolchildren from our town and their parents attended, enjoying fun activities and plenty of candy.
The Weston Women’s League expressed their gratitude for our assistance, as reflected in the email from co-presidents Christine DeCampos Paglierani and Veronica Chavez Lancin that we received, below:
Dear Harvey and Bob,
I hope this email finds you well. Veronica and I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and the entire Kiwanis family for your support at Trunk or Treat. Your time and volunteerism made a difference, and we are so grateful to have you as allies.
We look forward to many more collaborations with you and Kiwanis. Please find attached some photos from Saturday’s event. We greatly appreciate your support and partnership.
Warmest regards,
Christine and Veronica
