Official Press Release: (download now) 2009 Annual Long Island Pancake Breakfast www.BellmoreKiwanis.org/Pancake-Breakfast.html April 19th – Bellmore, New York Thank you for your interest in the 2009 Annual Long Island Pancake Breakfast Presented by the Kiwanis Club of the Bellmores. This event has been running successfully for more than 30 years. The Pancake Breakfast is a 1 day event on a Sunday in mid to late April. This event features an "all-you-can-eat" Pancake, Bacon, and Sausage breakfast. Now in its 35th year, the people that make this great event possible would like to put a bit of a new spin on it. "LET's GO GREEN", declared Andrew Meyerowitz, a member of the club and an active participant since he could walk. Joining Andrew is his brother, Seth (Club Secretary and Website Chair), and sister, Rachel. The concept was mulled over and the decision was made to not only present a "GREEN" Pancake Breakfast (don't worry the pancakes themselves are not green) but to expand the green concept into our other events including the Bellmore Lions & Kiwanis Club's Annual Nassau County Strawberry Festival (now in its 24th year). "When we think about the amount of garbage our events create and the contribution to landfills, we felt we had to do something", said Andrew who is taking the lead on this effort. Andrew added, "It is very interesting to see how large of a "Carbon Footprint" we leave after our events". With the help of the Kiwanis Club (and Lions Club), these two events will be revamped in order to begin making strides to improve our community. John Monks, President of the Bellmore Kiwanis Club explains, "This is what our clubs are all about, improving the communities that we live in and helping the members of those communities". Joe Anderson, Lions Club President, emphasizes that "it is important for clubs like ours to begin taking these steps and setting a good example for the members of our communities and show that everyone should get involved". The Bellmore Kiwanis will look to raise monies to support the community and more importantly the individuals that need a bit of extra help. One way the club is able to do this is by putting together a Large Placemat for advertising. Ads are about the size of a normal business card and may be purchased at a cost of $25 for one or $40 for a double. Ads include 2 free tickets to the event (a $10 value) and a listing on our website. SPONSORSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE. If you or your business would like more information about the placemat ads, please contact the Kiwanis at Contact@BellmoreKiwanis.com or 516-650-1939. The Pancake Breakfast is open to the general public. This year's breakfast is Sunday, April 19th, from 8:30-11:30 am. The event is held at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Bellmore Avenue in Bellmore. Admission is only $5.00 and parking is free. Our local High School Key Clubbers will be in attendance helping out and please remember that all members of the Kiwanis Club are volunteers. We greatly appreciate ALL of your support as it "Helps Us Help Others". Be assured that 100% of the money goes directly to assisting those in our communities that need it most. More details about this event and others can be found on the Kiwanis Club's website at www.BellmoreKiwanis.org. Also, you can contact the club directly at Contact@BellmoreKiwanis.com or via phone at 516-650-1939 (ask for John Monks).
