The Levittown Kiwanis Club has a very important announcement:

You are all welcome to come to a lunch meeting of the Levittown Kiwanis Club on Friday, June 27 at La Focaccia at 12:30 p.m. After many years of night meetings we are thinking of again having one or two lunch meetings a month. We hope to make it easier for potential members to join and come to our meetings. You could have a choice as to which meetings you could attend. Please come and visit us for lunch.

The following appeared in one of our Kiwanis Club newsletters:

What Kind of a Member Are You?

Some members are like wheelbarrows, no good unless pushed.

Some are like trailers, no good unless pulled.

Some are like kites, if you don't keep a string on them, they fly away.

Some are like balloons, full of air and ready to blow up.

Some are like footballs, you never know which way they are going to bounce.

And some are like fine watches, pure gold, open-faced and quietly working.

What kind of member would you be if you joined?

Scholarship Night is fast approaching. It is a wonderful way to spend an evening. It is an honor to be present and see the proud students and their parents accepting the scholarships.

Sunday, June 15 is going to be a very special day. It is the day the Levittown Kiwanis Club is holding their annual 5K run/walk. All proceeds go to Kiwanis sponsored charities.

Would you like to be a sponsor or a runner? Please call Kevin Regan at 731-5016.

This is a very special time of year for the Levittown Kiwanis Club. We are trying to raise as much money as possible. The reason is the end of the school year is approaching. That means scholarships will be given to graduating High School Seniors in Levittown. Would you or your organization like to send a child to camp or sponsor a scholarship?

Please send your donation to:

Kiwanis Club of Levittown, Inc.

P.O. Box 152

Levittown, NY 11756

Please mark 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.

Please save all your soda/drink flip top tabs and all your Campbell soup labels and General Mills box tops and turn them in to the Levittown Kiwanis Club at one of our meetings. You may ask: why labels and soda tabs? The labels and box tops go to St. Jude's Ranch for Children, which they redeem for a monetary amount. The soda tabs go to the Fork Lane School in Hicksville and they give them to the Nassau County Medical Center Burn Unit.
