Island Park Kiwanis raises thousands at annual lobster bake
The Island Park Kiwanis Club hosted its annual lobster and steak dinner at Masone Beach on August 4. The event, a fundraiser for the club, raised $3,800. The funds will benefit children and families in Island Park and beyond. The club will vote on allocating these funds, with plans to award a scholarship to a graduating senior from Island Park.
In previous years, the raised funds have supported sending local children from low-income families to Camp Kiwanis, donating pediatric trauma units to the fire department, and contributing to The Eliminate Project, which provides tetanus shots for pregnant mothers in countries abroad.
Captain Mike Spina from Capt. Mike’s Seafood in Oceanside provided the meals. This year marks the Kiwanis Club’s 70th year of service in Island Park. To celebrate, a public event will be held at DaVinci’s restaurant in Island Park this in October.
