One of our newest members Sara Hugoson had a vision of
service and fun for the latest FWT project. Once again, the collaboration was
rewarding and successful as several members came together for plan and
execution. Crafty ideas and many helping hands made a “farm-themed” favorite
stop for about 500 or so Trick or Treaters and their families. The very windy
day made setting up the cardboard barn challenging, but the FWT problem solvers
made it happen! Within the first hour, 300+ treats had run out, but FWT
President Joanna was quick on the task to replace so no child was turned away.
Hy-Vee has donated to FWT past projects and the FWT group wanted to
give-back support for their “Trunk or Treat” project. Fairmont is
fortunate to have a Hy-Vee; and FWT applauds their success and service to our
community.
The interaction with families during the event proved to be delightful and
rewarding too. Families of diverse backgrounds were greeted with smiles,
welcoming conversation and an Interactive Farm Display. The “Trunk or Treat”
project was a great way to serve local kids, demonstrate gratitude, build trust
and “cultivate” friendships within the Fairmont Women of Today circle of
members and beyond.
