East Rockaway Kiwanis Club honored two individuals and two organizations on Sunday, Apr. 11 at a dinner dance held at the Oceanside Knights of Columbus last weekend.
Club President Carmine Tufano announced that the honorees were: Debbie Hirschberg, as Person of the Year. She is the branch manager of Capital One Bank in East Rockaway and treasurer of many community organizations; Ethel Gilloon as Kiwanian of the Year. She is a distinguished past lieutenant governor of the LISW Division of Kiwanis and a two-time, two-term president of East Rockaway Kiwanis.
The two choices for Community Organizations of the Year are the American Legion Post 958, under Commander Tony Donato, and VFW Post 3350, under Commander Joe McCarthy. Both organizations honor those who served in the Armed Forces and those who are currently serving, while they exemplify community service for the entire community.
