Volunteering

We volunteer both to the community at large such as New Canaan’s Family Fourth Celebration and the Historical Society’s Ice Cream Social as well as to specific undertakings such as the Home Front Project and Clean-Your-Mile Program.  In addition, we have been awarded a prominent position in the line of march at the Memorial Day parade and distribute small American flags to onlookers.  We also financially support the Christmas Senior Luncheon at Waveny Castle.  Our collective actions help make our community a better place, fulfilling our motto “Unity for Service.”    

Fundraising events

We primarily raise funds by selling Christmas trees and assorted holiday merchandise and sponsoring our annual Golf Outing in order to accumulate funds for our Grants & Donations Committee.  All of the monies generated by these events are given away primarily for the prevention of child abuse and other programs to help our local and regional community. 

Social events

We are involved in several social events such as our semi-monthly dinner meetings at the Woodway Country Club​ with a guest speaker from the community.  It has also been our tradition to have a dinner with wives or significant others on the last dinner meeting in June to thank our departing board members for their service and to welcome new directors and officers as they begin their terms.  Our Christmas Dinner replaces one of the usual December dinner meetings and is a very enjoyable social evening with joy in the air.
