My husband and I are the Co-Directors of Mini Mart, the largest fundraiser for our Kiwanis Club.

Come out on Oct 1st from 10am to 5pm to Sea Cliff Avenue from Carpenter to Prospect!

Hope to see you there!

More on Mini Mart:

The Mini Mart annually draws up to 200 vendors and over 12,000 people along Sea Cliff Avenue.

This year we harken back to the origins of handcrafted with over 50 Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Glen Cove, and Glenwood Landing artisans and over 100 artisans coming from Nassau County.

There is an abundance of unique, quality, arts and crafts such as sculptures, jewelry, quilts, upcycled and repurposed art, hand-embroidered items, photography, home décor, bird houses, and cutting boards, to name a few. Sea Cliff Avenue restaurants offer delicious, tempting “tastes” and libations.  There also are activities for children with face painting, fairy hair glitter, hair braiding, and more.

This is a primary fundraiser for many nonprofit organizations, including North Shore Kiwanis, (an all-volunteer organization) which will celebrate 55 years of service to the North Shore community next year.

NSK supports local school scholarships, Kamp Kiwanis for Children, Kiwanis Pediatric Center, Klothes for Kids, (see our Sea Cliff Mini Mart Facebook Page) Koats for Kids. During COVID, we did numerous food drives.

Please join us for our 26th Annual Ride honring Tom De Stio and The De Stio Family, who have consistently put on a successful and fun event, for all these years, to help the children of our community!

​​For the past 25 years, the Kiwanis Club of North Shore Long Island has conducted the Nassau to Suffolk Bicycle Challenge on Long Island now renamed as the Nassau Bicycle Challenge.  The event was begun by Tom DeStio, whose son was born prematurely and with multiple health issues.  He was taken care of in the Critical Care Unit of the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center (KPTC) in Cohen Children’s Medical Center, now located in New Hyde Park.  When Tom joined Kiwanis, he realized that it was the perfect venue for facilitating his “giving back”.  He and his family have been involved ever since.
