"Coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb"
March is uniquely special as the transition month signaling the start of spring with the vernal equinox, bringing longer days and Daylight Saving Time. It is marked by St. Patrick's Day, NCAA March Madness, and Women's History Month. Additionally, it features the Full Worm Moon and prime maple syrup harvesting.
For Kiwanians, March is a time to get busy! Mardi Golf is over and our attention now turns to Pancake Days. Tickets are printed, the song is sung, supplies are being ordered, now it’s YOUR turn. SELL those tickets and corporate sponsorships. We need EVERY member to help, as this fundraiser is what supports all of our efforts during the year.
Where can you eat breakfast for only $7.00? It is an easy sell as this is a well-known event for the past 65 years and is supported by our community. You just have to ask. We’ll have a drawing for an electric bicycle along with the great breakfast. Can’t eat pancakes – on a diet? Just buy a ticket to help a child.
No excuses – you are Kiwanians!
Pick up your tickets at a meeting or call us and we’ll get them to you.
The Chinese sage Confucius said:“Caring, that is, consideration for others, is the basis for a good life, a good society.”
Through Kiwanis, caring men and women can create a good life for themselves, and through voluntary service, a good society.
