Dear Sally, Alex, and Andrew,
On behalf of the Weston Kiwanis Club, I am writing to acknowledge the receipt of your generous donation of $5,000 made in memory of your father, Richard L. Amill. Your thoughtful contribution is a touching tribute to his legacy and longstanding commitment to our community.
Your father's presence and dedication to the club were invaluable, and his spirit will continue to inspire all of us. The funds donated in his memory will support our ongoing projects and initiatives, ensuring that many future beneficiaries will feel his impact. This gift will help us further our mission of serving the children and assisting the elderly and veterans needing care.
We are deeply moved by your family's generosity and the love you have shown in honoring your father's memory. Please know that this donation will be used thoughtfully and with great care as we strive to uphold the high standards and compassionate spirit that he embodied.
Thank you once again for your heartfelt gift. It will significantly impact our efforts to build a better and more supportive community. If there is anything the Weston Kiwanis Club can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
With sincere appreciation,
D. Keith Johnson

KIWANIS 2025 ROSE PARADE FLOAT | |
|
The Kiwanis International float for the 2025 Tournament of Roses Parade was titled "Beeing Together". The theme celebrated the work of Kiwanis volunteers and projects.
The Rose Parade is a New Year's Day tradition that takes place in Pasadena, California. The 2025 parade was the 136th annual event and featured a variety of floats, marching bands, and equestrian teams.
