Our Aktion Club
 The Kiwanis Club of the Bellmores is one of the first Long Island based Kiwanis Clubs to sponsor an Aktion Club. The development of the "Aktion Club of Nassau Boces RKS at Bellmore JFK" is something that we are extremely proud of.
We would like to offer a special "thank you" to Bellmore Kiwanian, Judy Mankita. Judy is our liaison to this club as well as the Bellmore John F. Kennedy Key Club and is the creative spark behind the Aktion Club here in Bellmore. THANKS JUDY !
