Patchogue Kiwanis Kicks off Koin Kans For Kids Kampaign
In
order to raise funds for sending Kampers to Kamp Kiwanis this
summer, the club has purchased 50 Kans to be distributed to
retail establishments where change is generated by patrons at
a register. Kamp Kiwanis lacked sufficient Kampers last summer
to cover expenses. With the construction of the Patchogue
Kiwanis Kabin this year at the Kamp, it is essential that the
Patchogue club help assure the season with the maximum Kampers
possible. Kans may be obtained by calling Glen Charvat at
631-289-0557 or Walt Ladick at 631-289-0938.

Holiday Parade

Club and the Patchogue Medford High School Venture Crew join
together to march in the Patchogue Annual Holiday Parade.
Each year the Patchogue Kiwanis Club reconstructs and
decorates its float to participate in this gala event. Over
70 floats built by Community organizations plus dozens of
volunteer fire departments all gathered together to thrill
young and old parade watchers along Main Street in
Patchogue. This years theme was Charlie Brown and his
sidekick Snoppy. Santa Claus highlighted the event with his
appearance on the last float. Float chairman, Robert
Albanowski, said that this year the building and parading of
the float attracted the largest turnout of Kiwanis Family
participants.
