Chicken BBQ Fundraiser

April 11, 2015

Geneva, NY -- On Saturday, April 11, 2015, the Kiwanis Club of Geneva held a chicken barbecue to raise proceeds to send Geneva area children to Kamp Kiwanis. Each summer, the Kiwanis Club sends kids to the week-long camp for no charge to the children. Kamp Kiwanis is located in Adirondack Park, and aims to provide kids with fun, physical exercise and adventure.

Despite the chilly conditions, the rain held off and there was a strong turnout for the event. Ace Automatics did such a great job cooking the chicken that some folks came back for seconds!

Early estimates indicate that at least 300 meals were sold.
