Pancake Day feeds hundreds
Kiwanis Pancake Day
enjoyed by young and old
An annual Greenville of Kiwanis tradition is the Pancake Day breakfast
held each March. This year the breakfast location was the First United
Methodist Church in Greenville.
Hungry residents found the new location and enjoyed sausage, a drink
and unlimited pancakes for a nominal fee of $5. The money generated by
Pancake Day is used by Kiwanis for community services such as car seats
for newborns, reading materials for Woodland Elementary students,
Special Olympics, donations to community service groups and more.
The breakfast is conducted by Kiwanis volunteers, along with volunteers
from the GHS Key Club, a student-led high school organization sponsored
by Greenville Kiwanis.
While the local organization participates in a variety of community
service activities, it has three main annual projects: Pancake Day,
Bell Ringing at Penney’s Department Store for the Community Christmas
Drive, and a second fundraiser, covering Gate 5 for the Great Darke
County Fair.
Kiwanis meets for lunch every Wednesday at Chestnut Community Center at
the Brethren Retirement Community. Interesting speakers on a variety of
topics, from other community service organizations to local government
officials, are presented to the group each week. All interested local
residents are encouraged to stop by and join the fun.
