The Kiwanis Club of Weston, an organization dedicated to community service, sponsors a variety of programs and events to raise funds for local organizations whose activities benefit the community at large. This is Weston Kiwanis' 37th Anniversary year. During that time, its members have worked to support worthy causes in the community and surrounding areas through a combination of community service, philanthropy, and assistance to youth and citizens of all ages. The club's membership is open to all men and women residing or working in the area. The club meets for breakfast every Saturday morning at 8:30 am at Norfield Congregational Church, except in July and August. Meetings often feature presentations by local, state, and national political figures and programs of general interest. Other meetings are followed by community service projects.
