K-family & Board Meeting
My Kiwanis LTG had her divisional, where I gave a speech about future directions in my division. I met others in the Kiwanis Family and got to hear what service projects they were up to.

The North Shore High School Key Club for their 20222023 Major Emphasis Project (MEP) will be assisting the Glen Cove Mommas House. The mission of Mommas House is to provide housing and support services to young mothers and their children. Since 1986. When the first residence opened, Mommas House has grown with multiple sites currently established in Nassau County. Through a variety of events planned each month, the key clubbers will open their hearts to young mothers and their children. As their first project in September, the North Shore key Club had a food drive on September 18th at Holiday Farms in Glen Head. The Kiwanis Club of North Shore President John Kle, Past President Leslie Kle & member Barbara Black, were on hand to deliver the food to the Glen Cove residence. Pictured are the key club and Kiwanis volunteers in action.

Spotlights Trick or Treating is always so much fun and the members of the North Shore key Club had their share and a great time taking the children from Mommas House Trick or Treating. (Mommas House is a residence, with 5 locations on Long Island, providing housing and support to young mothers and their children.) All participants dressed up in their scariest costumes and visited houses in Glen Cove. Pictured is the group with smiles galore.

Spotlights With their gift lists in hand to fill boxes galore , the North Shore Kiwanis Family filled over 60 boxes to be sent world-wide through the Samaritans Purse Organization. North Shore has participated in this activity for more than 20 years sending gift boxes to children in need worldwide. Pictured is the NS Family with Kiwanis, Key Club, Builders Club and K Kids all in action for service. Also pictured are the two North Shore delivery men, President Roger Hill and LG -Elect John Kle dropping off the boxes at the Syosset location to begin their journey across the globe.
