Throughout the summer months, the Levittown Kiwanis Club has been meeting every other week rather than every Thursday. Now that September has arrived the club will be returning to its regular schedule of Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m. at La Focaccia Restaurant, 70 East Village Green, Levittown, NY 11756. Telephone: 796-4461.

Guests are welcome. Please join us and learn about the positive role Kiwanis plays in the community.

The Alzheimer's Association of Long Island has been working with the Long Island South Central Division of Kiwanis for more than two years. In those two years, Kiwanis, and the Levittown Kiwanis Club, specifically, has really helped the association in many ways, including participating in the organization's annual Memory Walk.

Last year the association raised $117,000, with $5,000 of that coming from Kiwanis. The Levittown Kiwanis Club alone collected in excess of $2,000 for the foundation. In addition, Kiwanis helped staff the event, setting up, flipping burgers, handing out T-shirts and more.

This money has helped enable the association to open a Family Care Center. The Family Center, located at North Shore LIJ, performs clinical reviews at no cost to the families. Proceeds from the annual walk made this center a reality for the Alzheimer's Association.

This year's Memory Walk, which the Levittown Kiwanis Club will again be participating in, is going to be held at Old Bethpage Restoration Village on Sept. 24 and will include a Fall Festival with more attractions for the whole family.

Please save all your soda/drink flip top tabs and all your General Mills box tops and Campbell Soup labels and turn them in to the Levittown Kiwanis Club at one of our meetings. The box tops and soup labels go to St. Jude's Ranch for Children. When St. Jude's reaches 300,000 box tops and soup labels they are able to redeem them for a Chrysler Caravan. The soda tabs are now being donated to Mercy Hospital.

Look for the Kiwanis Korner in the Levittown Tribune every week.
