The grand opening at the end of November was organized twice, once between Bianca's and CVS in the Moraga Center and one next to Starbucks at the Rheem Shopping Center. "The Moraga Valley Kiwanis Club's shops are an annual, major fundraising effort that primarily benefits children in our local region," says Kiwanis president Barry Behr. "We enjoy meeting and greeting members of our local communities, acquainting them with the broad selection of See's Candies that we have available and assisting them with their purchases." At each shop, customers can arrange for direct shipping of their holiday candy purchases to friends and relatives across the United States. The Rheem shop's hours are from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and the Moraga shop from 1 to 5 p.m.; both shops will be open until Dec. 23. - S. Braccini
