Our Reservoir Run Flyer Distribution Team braved rain, thunder, and a dash of lightening to distribute flyers at the Fairfield Police Department Sunset 5K Wednesday evening Wednesday, July 17, 2024 . This year, “Sunset” was a misnomer. No one at Jennings Beach where the event was held saw sunset. Start time was moved to 7:30 p.m. due to the inclement weather. The event was sold out. Race organizers reported registrations of over 1,200 runners/walkers. The race’s website listed actual runners/walkers at 596.
Dan Gilbert distributed flyers to over 200 vehicles. Paul Schultz must be complimented on the quality of the flyers. The flyers are water proof. Channel 12 News was on-scene. Dan provided the driver with a Reservoir Run flyer along with a description of our Weston Kiwanis Reservoir Run half marathon and 5K foot races and kids fun run on Sunday, October 13, 2024.
To paraphrase the U.S. Postal Service “motto”*, “Neither rain, nor hail, nor dark of night will stay this carrier from his appointed rounds.”
Next up for our distribution team is the Faxton Law New Haven Road Race on Labor Day, Monday, September 2, 2024.
The Weston Kiwanis Reservoir Run half marathon and 5K foot races and kids fun run is the signature fundraiser of the Kiwanis Club of Weston, part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. We change children’s lives in their own communities and through international initiatives — helping young people develop mentally, physically and emotionally. The Kiwanis Club of Weston and our foundation has raised and donated over $1 million since 2000. Contact us for more information and to learn how you can become a member.
*While the Postal Service has no official motto, the popular belief that it does is a tribute to America’s postal workers. The words above, thought to be the motto, are chiseled in gray granite over the entrance to the New York City Post Office on 8th Avenue and come from Book 8, Paragraph 98, of The Persian Wars by Herodotus. During the wars between the Greeks and Persians (500-449 B.C.), the Persians operated a system of mounted postal couriers who served with great fidelity.

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 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.
