The Levittown Kiwanis Club will have a special ceremony on June 25 at 10 a.m. to remember longtime member George Orth who passed away last spring. The club has a tradition of planting trees on Bluegrass Lane in memory of deceased members. This will be the club's third tree and there will be a special plaque at the base of the tree, denoting that it is in memory of "Mr. Terrific Kid" George Orth. Levittown Kiwanis will host its 10th Annual Father's Day 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, June 18. The race begins at 8 a.m. in the parking lot behind Tri-County Flea Market. Awards will be given to the top three male and female runners in each designated age group. There will be refreshments for runners after the race and raffle prizes to be given out during the award ceremony. Anyone who is interested in running in the race or being a shirt sponsor can contact Kevin Regan at 731-5016. Terrific Kids is a Kiwanis-sponsored program that provides schools with a tool to reward students for special achievements that may otherwise go unnoticed. The Levittown Kiwanis Club has scheduled its last Terrific Kids Program for the year on Wednesday, June 14 at 9:10 a.m. at Gardiners Avenue School.
