South Shore Kiwanis

Scott was truly one of the greatest Kiwanians ever and an absolutely amazing person. They should have named all of New Dorp lane after him! His legacy transcends far and wide but he will always be fondly known as "The Plateman"!

The street renaming honors the legacy of Scott Spina, a tireless local leader and a Purple Heart recipient, who advocated for charitable causes before he passed away in November 2024 at age 76.

Thank you for the 400+ that attended and supported the South Shore Kiwanis Mangia Madness dinner yesterday. Please share your photos in the comments so we may add them to our library.

SSK is having an amazing month so far! We started the month by delivering 100 meals to homebound seniors on Easter Sunday with the help of members and volunteers along with their families. It is a great opportunity to teach our children that giving back to those less fortunate is a beautiful thing. This past Sunday we hosted over 400 people for our annual Mangia Madness event at Monsignor Farrell in memory of our brother, Alex Inserra. This event was all Alex's idea, but God had a higher calling for him. Tom Beyar saw fit to make sure his dream became a reality and nearly 15 years ago, Tommy started this incredibly blessed and successful event with the support of the entire SSK family. To this day it is always sold out and the funds raised support the charities that Alex loves the most.

Today, Borough President Vito Fossella joined the South Shore Kiwanis and Port Richmond Strong at Fort Wadsworth to support Blue Star Families and help stock the pantry with food, toiletries, and everyday essentials for our military families.

A special thanks to all of our drop-off locations who helped make this possible: Joyce’s Tavern, La Fontana, O’Neill’s, Duffy’s, and Doc Hennigan’s.

Our servicemen and women should always be a top priority. Staten Island stands with our troops.
