Patchogue Kiwanians
Host Children's Christmas Party
Over
25 Patchogue Kiwanis related children were guests at the Suffolk
Boat Club. The children played games and then received gifts from
Santa Claus who pleased most of the children and terrified a few.
All were treated to a sumptuous buffet and the
evening was an outstanding success for all who attended.
Patchogue Kiwanis Completes 5K Santa’s Toy Trot
650
Runners from a far away as Boston competed on Sunday, Dec 4th
on a 5K course which started on Jennings Ave in front of the
Patchogue Fire Department, meandered up and down various streets
around West Lake and then finished where it started on Jennings. The
field was the largest in the history of this annual race sponsored
by the Kiwanis Club of Patchogue. Part of the entrant fee for the
race was a toy for a needy child. Almost 1000 toys were
donated by the runners and packaged by the Patchogue Medford High
School Key Clubs and Venture Crew for distribution to needy children
in the Greater Patchogue area. Volunteers who assisted in the event
all received special Santa’s Helper shirts. They packed the toys at
the BrickHouse Brewery which helped in the sponsorship of the race.
Proceeds of the event will be used by the Kiwanis club on its
sponsored youth programs and children’s community needs projects.
