8:15 a.m. Breakfast meeting with program: Elayne Cassara, Spiritual Abuse and the Mica Miller Story


Norfield Congregational Church parish hall, 64 Norfield Road Weston, Connecticut

ALL THIS AND NEXT WEEK

If you saw $25 lying on the ground, would you pick it up? $25 is about what it will cost our club to replace every "lost" Reservoir Run yard signs come next year.


In your travels around town, if you spot a Reservoir Run yard sign, and if you can do it safely, please retrieve the sign(s) and bring it/them to the meeting this or next Saturday.

Runners, Kiwanians, volunteers, and sponsors: thank you!


We did it! Reservoir Run XV was a huge success in support of our mission of serving children.


We had an incredible turnout this year with 592 registered participants—ranging from energetic three-year-olds in the Kids’ Fun Runs to a remarkable 78-year-old tackling the half marathon. None of this would have been possible without the dedication, enthusiasm, and support of our amazing community.

A huge round of applause goes out to our incredible volunteers who kept everything running smoothly before, during, and after the races, including retrieving traffic devices.


Steve Thomas contributed this photograph of Kiwanis "Kone" Heads Tim Rogers, Frank Ferrara and Dave Burns.

We also want to give a special shout-out to the wearer of bib 512, Harry Spencer photographed crossing the finish line by Emma McMorris. Not only did Harry lace up his shoes and ran the 5K, but he truly "ran" the show behind the scenes to make this event happen!


Once again, thank you all for contributing your time, energy, and commitment. You made this a terrific community event and powerfully advanced our fundraising efforts for children in need.


Yours in service,



President Lance

By Harry Spencer


AMAZING MUSIC! Weston High School Band brought incredible energy and excitement to race day, helping make the atmosphere unforgettable!
