The Kiwanis Club of East Meadow is well known in the community for its good deeds. And last week, the club welcomed its new officers, while thanking the previous ones for their dedication to the club throughout the year.
The Kiwanis installed Melody Schiller as its president, Donna Goldstein as its president elect, Alba Dougherty as its secretary and Brian O’Flaherty as its treasurer. Joseph Parisi is the club’s immediate past president.
The board of directors for 2024 includes Matthew Kamper, Richie Krug Jr., Kara Lamendola, Steve LaSala, Rosa Principato, Tracy Rudd, Ted Rosenthal, Marian Schneider and Sharon Sokhey.
“It was a magical night at the Coral House as East Meadow Kiwanis celebrated its 73rd installation of officers,” the club wrote on Facebook. “Congratulations to our outgoing President Joseph Parisi and incoming President Melody Schiller.”
East Meadow residents know that year after year, the Kiwanis Club does what it can to give back to the community and its children. It’s a premier service organization in East Meadow, that distributes food during the holidays, backpacks and school supplies to children in need and provides scholarships, among several other initiatives.
The installation took place at the Coral House in Baldwin on Oct. 8.
The Kiwanis meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:15 p.m., and for more information on the club and its activities, visit EastMeadowKiwanis.org.
