Kiwanis of East Meadow serves up a good time on the pancake griddle

The Kiwanis Club of East Meadow celebrated its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser on April 21, must to the enjoyment of the East Meadow community, who stopped by for a good time — and a good meal.

Hundreds of community members spent their Sunday morning eating pancakes, eggs, and sausage in the East Meadow High School cafeteria.

The breakfast has been raising money for more than 30 years, and is among the club’s largest fundarisers, behind only the Steven J. Eisman Memorial Golf Outing. Money from the breakfast is used for Kiwanis scholarships for high school seniors and to send underprivileged children to Kamp Kiwanis, a sleep-away summer camp in Taberg, New York.

In addition to the breakfast, there was lots of other fun to go around. Some fan-favorite Star Wars characters from the 501st Legion even popped by, much to the excitement of everyone.

The Kiwanis supports and takes part in various initiatives throughout the year. Visit EastMeadowKiwanis.org for more.
