Levittown Kiwanis has been the proud sponsoring club of Key Club Lieutenant Governor Rickie Santer for the past two years. Rickie, a senior at Division Avenue High School, has accomplished many things during his term, including raising $10,000 for the Foundation for Fighting Blindness and increasing key club involvement throughout the division. Now, as he graduates, Rickie will be turning the Lieutenant Governor reins over to Robin Kornstein, a student at Island Trees High School. As this is also one of the key clubs sponsored by Levittown Kiwanis, it will be the third consecutive year that the Kiwanis Club of Levittown will be the sponsoring club of the Key Club Lieutenant Governor.
On March 12, Rickie Santer held his final divisional meeting for all the key clubs he served. At that time he presented a number of awards, including one to the Levittown Kiwanis Club for outstanding support of Divisional events. It was a truly proud moment for the Levittown Kiwanis Club.
As of Jan. 1, the Levittown Kiwanis Club has changed its meeting schedule from every Thursday to the second and fourth Thursdays of every month.
