Allen, in her role of president, reminded members of the need to promote the annual Kiwanis Pancake Day set for Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Masonic Hall. Pancakes with the trimmings will be served from 7a.m. to noon. Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for children under 12 and are available from any Kiwanis member. This is one of three fund-raisers held by the Kiwanis each year to fund their many projects to aid children and the community.
