Tree Lighting Celebration

admin — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:53:08 +0000

We had a great night serving Hot Chocolate and Hot Cider at the annual tree lighting ceremony in Bellmore town, hosted by the Bellmore Chamber of Commerce. There were horse drawn carriage rides, trolley ridesÂ and a visit by Santa. The turn out was great, we served approx. 250 cups of cider and hot chocolate. This may become an annual event for the club to help support the Chamber and the community.

Installation 2008

admin — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:09:10 +0000

The Installation Diner for the Bellmore Kiwanis was a wonderful event. I would like to thank everyone who attended, your support to our club is greatly appreciated. A special thanks to LISC Lt. Gov. Jo-Ann Delgado for presiding over the swearing in of our new members and the Club Officers for the up coming year. We would also like to thank Sal Anelli, NY District Foundation Board President for attending and giving a very inspirational talk about Kamp Kiwanis.

We also had the support of other clubs from the LISC Division, thanks to Merrick, Wantagh, East Meadow and Garden City. Two of our local politicians and great supporters of our Club, David Dennenberg and Mark Bonilla were in attendance and gave out awards, to our deserving members.

Â The night was a great success with good food, drinks and friends. Bridgeview Yacht Club was a great place to have the event, this may become our annual sight for the installation. We tried to keep the business to a minimum and the enjoyment to the maximum. Seth Meyerowitz put on a very nice slide show of past Kiwanis events, thanks.

We gave a special honor of a Kaiser Award to John Scalesi to recognize all the had work he does for our Club and our community. Thank you John for all your dedication and hard work.

We look forward to a very successful year, thank you to all of our supporters.

John Monks, President
