RECENT EVENTS
Klothes for Kids (2024)
On Saturday August 31st the annual 30 year “Klothes For Kids “event hosted by the North Shore Kiwanis Club took place. 22 community children and their Kiwanis shoppers entered JC Penney at Roosevelt Field and…. Shopped till they dropped, buying back to school clothes to begin the new school year. Kiwanians Anniek Kalman & Natalia Pardo(a former key Clubber herself) Joined hands to coordinate this effort that put smiles on children’s faces. After shopping they traveled to Amalfi’s Pizzeria in Glen Cove for lunch. The Kiwanis club provides transportation and all expenses for the event and this year, additional funding was added from a grant sponsored by the Kiwanis Children’s Fund. The Kiwanis goal is to serve children of the world and this is just one of the many events sponsored by the North Shore Kiwanis Club. To quote President Roger Hill, “Kids Need Kiwanis now more than ever and the Klothes For Kids Program is an example of how the North Shore Club meets the needs of our community.”
