Paying Tribute to 9/11 With Pancakes

The cafeteria at West Hempstead High School was filled with families Sunday morning who came out to indulge in a delicious pancake breakfast that will benefit a special place in the community.

The money raised through admission and raffle sales through the Kiwanis Club of West Hempstead's annual event will be used to restore the 9/11 memorial at Hall's Pond Park once it reopens. Currently, the park is gated off as construction workers continue a redevelopment project. 

When they are through, the Kiwanis Club plans to revamp and replant flowers around the memorial erected in the park to the victims of 9/11. 

This is just one of the many fundraisers the Kiwanis Club holds throughout the year to pay for projects and programs intended to benefit the community.
