Who are the Five Towns Kiwanis?

The Five Towns Kiwanis is the best kept secret in the Five Towns.

Founded in 1964 the Kiwanis Club of the Five Towns (NY) has become one of the most active community service organizations in our area. Our diverse membership is  a non-sectarian; non-political civic organization dedicated to the promotion of the highest social, business and professional standards.

Our club provides a welcoming environment conducive to enduring friendships, as well as practical programs designed to meet human needs and make the Five Towns community a better place.  Children are our first priority.

Each year the Kiwanis Club of the Five Towns sponsors different events to attract participation amongst our members and the community.  In the spring we host our George Amitrano Pancake Breakfast.  During the summer we will hold our annual Marty Mongoni Golf Outing at one of the local golf courses.  Our weekly Thursday meeting programs also help generate revenues with which we can also support numerous worthy causes.
