Weston Kiwanians adopted amended bylaws and policies, and elected club officers, directors, and foundation directors for the year beginning October 1 at the annual club and foundation meetings held Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Norfield Congregational Church’s parish hall. Members can access the previous and newly-adopted documents from links on the club’s website’s members page (password required).
Bylaws
The main goals of amending and restating the bylaws are 1) to align the club bylaws and foundation bylaws with the standard forms, which Kiwanis International has updated after Weston’s bylaws were approved, 2) to right-size board sizes to reflect the current membership number, and 3) to increase the alignment of the composition of the boards for efficiency.
Each corporations’ bylaws will become effective upon approval by Kiwanis International.
Club
The newly-adopted club bylaws conform to the February 2025 (previously October 2012) Kiwanis International standard form, reduce the number of directors to three from eight, and permit proxy voting.
Foundation
The newly-adopted foundation bylaws newly conform to the April 2018 Kiwanis International standard form. The previously-adopted bylaws were approved in 2013. The newly adopted bylaws provide for five officers and three directors, and allow proxy voting, mirroring the club’s board’s structure and voting policy.

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.

The Kiwanis Club of Weston presents this program at no charge as a service to the community.
STOP THE BLEED® is a national campaign that empowers bystanders to learn how to control life-threatening bleeding in emergencies before professional medical help arrives. It's essentially a "CPR for bleeding," teaching simple, yet effective, techniques to stop the flow of blood.
The instructor is Mike Vincelli. Weston Volunteer EMS will provide demonstrations and supervision of hands-on practice.
Michael J. Vincelli, CHS IV, FABCHS, DABCHS, CNTA, CHPP, is Director of Emergency Preparedness/Response at Aspetuck Health District, Deputy Emergency Management Director for the Town of Weston, and is a Certified Stop the Bleed® instructor.
