A hole-in-one for community spirit at East Meadow Kiwanis golf outing
Members of the Kiwanis Club of East Meadow gathered to remember longtime Kiwanian Steven Eisman at a golf outing in his honor. Golfers strapped on golfing shoes, and donned visors, before hitting the course at Eisenhower Park on Aug. 5 for the annual Steven J. Eisman Memorial Golf Outing.
The longstanding East Meadow Kiwanis Club fundraiser was renamed in Eisman’s memory to recognize his generosity and dedication to the community. The tournament, hosted by East Meadow Kiwanis and Borrelli’s Restaurant, is the club’s biggest fundraiser.
Eisman was a very prominent community member serving as past president of East Meadow Kiwanis, the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce and the Nassau County Bar Association. He took his Kiwanis positions one step further representing the club as lieutenant governor of the Long Island South Central Kiwanis division and parliamentarian for the New York District Kiwanis. He died in November 2015 after a battle with pneumonia at the age of 61.
The event raises nearly $25,000 annually and is sponsored by many community members. Proceeds go toward sending children to Kamp Kiwanis, in upstate Taberg, a summer camp for underprivileged children. The fundraiser also gives the club the means to award scholarships.
The annual memorial outing at Eisenhower Park not only celebrates the life and legacy of Eisman, but also strengthens bonds within the East Meadow community, ensuring that his spirit for giving back lives on.
