Would you or your organization like to send a child to camp?

Please be aware that this time every year the Levittown Kiwanis is selling their club raffle tickets. The cost is $25 and there is a drawing every month. The prizes are: 1st prize $100, 2nd prize $50, 3rd prize $25 but the December drawing is: 1st prize $250, 2nd prize $100, 3rd prize $50.

Are you feeling lucky? Stop by one of our weekly meetings and buy a ticket or two. The proceeds go to scholarships and summer camp.

The Club has been thinking of creating a Kiwanis hotline phone number. Perhaps a senior might call if they needed some transportation to a doctor. Or someone may need some help at home. A student may need a tutor that their family could not afford.

The hotline would be a wonderful service the Levittown Kiwanis could do for its community. As you can well imagine, we need to dramatically increase our membership in order to accomplish this goal. Would you like to help with our hotline?

One of our goals is to have 200 members by the year 2000. Please help us meet our goal!

The Levittown Kiwanis is planning a 5K Run for June 28. Would you like to be a sponsor or a runner? Please contact Mario A. Bucci at 520-8330, Extension 650. We also need volunteers to help that day. All proceeds go to Kiwanis sponsored charities!

Remember, the summer is on its way. The Levittown Kiwanis Club gives out scholarships to high school seniors every year. They also send needy children from the community to Camp Kiwanis. Please send your donation to:

Kiwanis Club of Levittown, Inc., P.O. Box 152, Levittown, NY 11756.

Please note on your check what to use the funds for: scholarship or summer camp or both. The more we collect, the more we can do for the young people of Levittown.
