Kevin and Joann have both been actively involved in the club for many years. Kevin served as president for three years before going on to become Lieutenant Governor for the Long Island South Central Division of Kiwanis with Joann serving proudly as First Lady. Additionally, both Kevin and Joann have served on or chaired numerous club committees. Joann has been co-chair of Community Pride Day, she has chaperoned Key Club trips so students from local high schools could attend, She has been committee chair for the reading program in local schools and more. Kevin has worked on nearly every committee the club has and makes Community Pride Day a possibility each year. Together, Kevin and Joann chair the club's largest fundraiser, the Annual Father's Day 5K Race, a monumental task.
Kevin and Joann are both members and heads of various other community organizations. They have three children and four grandchildren.
The Levittown Kiwanis Club was very proud to have the opportunity to recognize these outstanding volunteers.
