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.

The end of the school year also means that Camp Kiwanis will be opening. Did you know the Levittown Kiwanis Club sends a few deserving youngsters to Summer Camp. Some of our members give a personal anonymous donation to send a child for a week to Camp Kiwanis. What a wonderful thing to do.

Would you or your organization like to send a child to camp? It costs $395 per child per week at Camp Kiwanis. Please send your donation to:

Please send your donation to:

Kiwanis Club of Levittown Inc.

PO 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.

Are you interested? Please come and see what the club is all about.

Please, be a Kiwanian!

Levittown Kiwanis is planning a 5K Run in June. Would you like to be a sponsor or runner? Please contact Mr. Kevin Regan at 731-5016. We also need volunteers to help that day. All the proceeds go to Kiwanis sponsored charities.

What could you do for your community? Think about it!

Would you like to join an organization of community people who give back to their community? Are you interested in joining? Please come to one of our meetings for a "look see." I guarantee you'll be impressed.

Did you know Kiwanis has a website? For you computer hackers: check out the Kiwanis International website at www.kiwanis.org.

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.
