Continuing their commitment to supporting children in our community and spreading kindness with a smile, Lynn Rotarians shared the joy of Halloween with more than 1,000 Lynn children and families at the 2nd Annual Parks & Recreation Trunk or Treat celebration at Manning Field!

The event was a tremendous success, bringing together community organizations, volunteers, and families for a fun and safe Halloween celebration. With creatively decorated vehicles, plenty of candy, and smiling faces everywhere, the afternoon was filled with laughter, excitement, and community spirit. Lynn Parks & Recreation estimated that 2,000 to 3,000 people attended, making this a truly memorable celebration for our city.

A special thank you to Rotarians: Marnie Moore, Emily Cross, Brian Field, Steve Upton, Molly Cohen, Karen Pilecki, Nancy Sousa, and Nicole McClain, along with friends of Lynn Rotary Mayor Nicholson, Alicia Reddin, and Drew Russo, for joining in the festivities and helping make the day so special.
 
Events like this remind us that "Creating Lasting Impact" doesn't always require a grand gesture. Sometimes, it begins with a piece of candy, a friendly smile, and a community coming together to make children feel celebrated. Thank you to Lynn Parks & Recreation for organizing this wonderful event and giving Lynn Rotary another opportunity to put Service Above Self into action.

As some of our Halloween visitors might say, the day was simply “Wicked Good!”
