Chocolate And More! Lititz Kiwanis Club Adds New Event
nown for its Chocolate Walk, members of the Kiwanis Club of Lititz Area decided to get a little creative with a fundraiser for the new year. In 2020, the Chocolate Walk, which is traditionally held the Saturday prior to Columbus Day, was streamlined to become a Chocolate Express, a onestop, drive-through to pick up sweet treats. For 2021, club members have devised a flavorful event that is designed to be safe. A Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate Tasting Party will be held via Zoom on Thursday, Jan. 28, with a choice to attend a 4, 5:30, or 7 p.m. event. Each Zoom engagement will include commentary about pairings. Those wishing to attend will pick up their party bag at a specified location in Lititz, or it can be delivered to the individual’s home within a 15-mile radius of downtown Lititz for an extra cost.

The pair mulled the idea over, waiting until the Chocolate Express was completed in the fall before getting to work. Proceeds from the local Kiwanis Club’s events traditionally benefit various local organizations, with
