This family event was held at the Norwood Middle School Auditorium located at 2020 Sherman Ave. on Friday June 17th. 120 pounds of nonperishable food items were donated that evening by those who attended the event. Which was in turn given to the Norwood Service League’s local food pantry. Door prizes and coupons for McDonald’s ice cream cones were given out. Two six month memberships to Fitworks were raffled well.
