Bellmore and Long Island Community Service through
Charity Events is our primary goal. At the
Bellmore Kiwanis Club we strive to fulfill the
Kiwanis vision of changing the world, one child and
one community at a time. Through the participation
of the members of the Bellmore Kiwanis Club, we've
helped to educate our children, support our
community, and establish ourselves as the premier
service organization in Bellmore.
Bringing Long Island Community Service to
the forefront of Long Islander's minds is one of the
main objectives of the Bellmore Kiwanis Club.
The
principle core of the Kiwanis mission is the belief
that the most effective way to enhance a community
is to enhance its children. When you give a child a
chance to learn, experience, dream and succeed,
great things will happen. The needs of young
children are Priority One at Kiwanis. But those
needs vary from country to country, and from
community to community.
On the international level
Kiwanis supports a worldwide service project to
eliminate iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). IDD is
the world's leading preventable cause of mental
retardation. Since 1994 Kiwanis has invested 80
million dollars and saved millions of children in
more than 80 countries. It has been projected that
IDD will be virtually eliminated.
