On Friday, Dec. 16, the Levittown Kiwanis Club will host its Annual Holiday Party for students in the Summit Lane DLC Program. This is a special event that is as enjoyable for the Kiwanis members who get to see the joy on the children's faces as it is for the children who each receive a present from Santa. Members of the Kiwanis Club got to act as Santa's helpers last weekend, wrapping presents to be distributed to the students at the party.

The Levittown Kiwanis Club joined with the Levittown Community Council to decorate and light the small tree and Menorah in front of HSBC Bank on Hempstead Turnpike last Saturday.
