Kiwanis Holiday Party

Kiwanians, families, and friends celebrated the season with a special breakfast on Saturday, December 14, 2024, our last meeting of 2024.

Party organizers Frank Ferrara and Harry Spencer, with help from a talented elf (named Amy Jenner), decorated Norfield Congregational Church parish hall for the occasion and greeted us, serving mimosas during gathering time. Reverend Dr. Bernard Wilson engaged us in his invocation, reminding us how Christmas was no “ordinary” night. The Honorable Lisa Wexler explained the meaning of Hannukah. If we didn’t before, now we know the difference between a menorah and a hanukkiah with a demonstration of the latter.

Chef Bill laid out a spectacular breakfast spread. Dr. David H. Connell, Director of Music and Worship at Norfield, on the grand piano, joined by professional soprano Jennifer Barron, performed Christmas and holiday favorites after breakfast, leading to the arrival of St. Nicholas himself (sounded a little like Bill Brady) and one of his elves, who bore somewhat of a resemblance to Roy Marsh. Santa received requests from the children before departing.
