We raised funds to send a Military members child to Kamp Kiwanis this year in honor of our good friend/ community activist and great Kiwanian Tony Jimenez, Tony passed away after a long illness. He served his country and his community with the same enthusiasm. This was the note that was sent after the evening.
Hi Everyone,
Thank you to all who came Tuesday night, it was amazing!!
Cooking with Jeanine: in honor of Tony Jimenez. All funds from this evening went directly to NY District Kiwanis Foundation to be used to: Invite a Military member’s child to attend Kamp Kiwanis in Taberg, NY. We reached our goal plus some!
What an amazing evening. We gathered many of Tonys friends and his wonderful wife for an evening of friendship, food and demonstration. Jeanine DeMenna, a longtime friend of Tony and the star of our the evening, created 3 quick and delicious meals that contain a just a few ingredients and quick cooking time. Which were delicous!
Some of guests included V.P. NY District Kiwanis Foundation, members of Tribute and Honor Foundation, PNY Kiwanis Governor, along with P NYDG 1st Lady, Glen Cove Mayor, esteemed members of our community and of course members of our club.
Our good friend Gaitley, wrote a very touching tribute to our friend. I have forwarded it for you to see.
