<p>Lucas’s Reading Challenge is a fun, family-friendly program created just for the Fairfield community in a special partnership between the Office of Alumni Engagement &amp; Annual Giving and the DiMenna-Nyselius Library!</p>

<p>From July 1 through September 4, 2026*, readers can track their reading progress, explore new books, and enjoy the excitement of a summer-long literary adventure - with Lucas the Stag cheering them on.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How It Works:  After registering, you'll receive a link to download and print the Lucas's Reading Challenge log. Readers can mark off each book they read - any title they enjoy counts! We even have a few DiMenna-Nyselius Library curated recommendations to start you off when you register. A link to view them will be in your confirmation email!</p>

<p>The Reward: All children registered will receive a Lucas's Reading Challenge bookmark. Readers who complete the challenge - 20 books read by September 4th - and submit their completed tracker will receive a Fairfield University-themed prize, which will be mailed to them over the summer, and the chance to win a Lil' Stags Club Membership for the upcoming 2026-27 Stags school year (we will select two winners from all completed challenges). </p>

<p>After being advised to postpone our event on July 15 due to air quality concerns from wildfire smoke, we're excited to have a new date to welcome you to gather with us!</p>

<p>Join us for a casual evening at Aquila's Nest Vineyards, owned by StagMates Neviana Zhgaba ’11, MS’13 and Ardian Llomi ’11, MS’15.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Adults, a Fairfield alumni band, will provide musical entertainment for the evening. Don’t miss a night of fun with your fellow Stags!</p>

<p>Aquila’s Nest Vineyards is a scenic 41-acre winery and event estate in Newtown, CT, recently voted Best Winery in Connecticut. Founded by Neviana Zhgaba and Ardian Llomi in 2016 on a former 200-year-old farm, the vineyard blends Mediterranean heritage, mythology, art, and wine to create an unforgettable experience that begins at the driveway and unfolds with Mediterranean statues, immersive wine tastings, and breathtaking views of the stunning sunset from igloos, gazebos, and cozy fire pits.</p>

<p>Since opening in October 2020, Aquila’s Nest has become a community hub, hosting live music, dueling pianos, tribute shows, comedy nights, murder mysteries, and craft workshops, complemented by gourmet food pairings such as artisanal cheeses, fine pastries, and locally made chocolates. Guests also enjoy signature sangrias, wine slushies—including shareable slushy towers—and seasonal offerings.

<p>Lucas’s Reading Challenge is a fun, family-friendly program created just for the Fairfield community in a special partnership between the Office of Alumni Engagement &amp; Annual Giving and the DiMenna-Nyselius Library!</p>

<p>From July 1 through September 4, 2026*, readers can track their reading progress, explore new books, and enjoy the excitement of a summer-long literary adventure - with Lucas the Stag cheering them on.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How It Works:  After registering, you'll receive a link to download and print the Lucas's Reading Challenge log. Readers can mark off each book they read - any title they enjoy counts! We even have a few DiMenna-Nyselius Library curated recommendations to start you off when you register. A link to view them will be in your confirmation email!</p>

<p>The Reward: All children registered will receive a Lucas's Reading Challenge bookmark. Readers who complete the challenge - 20 books read by September 4th - and submit their completed tracker will receive a Fairfield University-themed prize, which will be mailed to them over the summer, and the chance to win a Lil' Stags Club Membership for the upcoming 2026-27 Stags school year (we will select two winners from all completed challenges). </p>
