Congratulations

Kneeland’s after-school programs have  meant so much to so many families

Congratulations are in order for  Deborah Kneeland and her For Kids Only program on a successful event held Saturday night at the Winthrop Yacht Club. Deborah is a pioneer in after school programming and her outstanding efforts that began in Winthrop have spread to other communities. There are now more than 1,000 children who are benefitting from her vision and ability to provide an excellent alternative for children in the crucial after school hours.

We would note that it was quite an event. Professional auctioneer Paul Maglio was fun and entertaining to watch and DJ Joe Anderson  did a phenomenal job overseeing the musical entertainment and keeping the crowd energized.

All in all, a good time was had by all for a good cause.
