Carver Community Center recently celebrated fall with an unforgettable event for our students. The afternoon was filled with crafts, seasonal snacks, and interactive games. The highlight of this year’s gathering was the support and participation of volunteer mothers and daughters from the National Charity League (NCL)—Westport Chapter, who donated snacks, provided craft materials, and helped lead activities throughout the day.
Organized by Carver’s NCL Liaison, Andreina Bauer, and her daughter, Talia, the NCL-Westport team brought extra warmth and enthusiasm to the event. With the help of dedicated volunteers like Dori Nissenson, her daughters Avery and Shea Nissenson, and Bridget Menninger and Maggie Wiele, who are members of the Class of 2025, the event offered a memorable experience for every student.
Students rotated through several activity stations, beginning with a craft station with fall-themed supplies for creating colorful decorations and keepsakes. Under the guidance of the NCL volunteers, students expressed their creativity, building confidence as they brought their ideas to life. At the snack station, students enjoyed treats provided by the NCL team, including a selection of seasonal favorites that paired perfectly with the fall ambiance. From apple snacks to pumpkin treats, there was something delicious for everyone to enjoy.
The games station was a hotspot of laughter and teamwork, with various games designed to keep everyone energized and entertained. The students had a fantastic time, encouraged by the enthusiastic NCL-Westport volunteers who joined in the fun and kept spirits high.
Events like this, enhanced by the support of Carver’s partners and volunteers, help create lasting memories and foster a sense of community and belonging. Carver is deeply grateful to the NCL-Westport Chapter for their generous contributions and commitment to making this fall celebration a success.
Thank you to all who made this event possible. As the holiday season approaches, we look forward to more joyful gatherings that bring our community closer together!
