PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
PANCAKE DAY Daisy and Terrill have thrown down the challenge to our club to raise at least $16,000 for our Pancake Day. This is our 30 + ??? Pancake Day. The debate is whether it is the 34th or 35th year! Regardless - that's a lot of pancakes - a lot of service - a lot of money raised to benefit children. I don't know what Daisy and Terrill have in store for us this week, but I'm sure we are going to hear some bragging and some further challenges! If you are new to Pancake Day, you have a special event to look forward to. If you are one of our "oldie" but "goodie" members, you know that it is a truly fun day when we work side by side flipping and serving pancakes to High Pointers!!!! It is important that you sell your pancake tickets. Many times we take the easy way out and purchase the tickets ourselves, but Pancake Day is our best opportunity to "show off our stuff" to the community. When people buy tickets and come to Wesley Memorial on March 10th, they get to see our camaraderie, our spirit of service, and all the young people we are serving through SLPs. Last year an elderly couple who come every year to Pancake Day told me they loved seeing us mingle with the guests - that we were "all smiles" while working to fund youth sponsored agencies in our community. It made them proud to help in our effort! So - let's give more folks out there the opportunity to "be proud of themselves". Let them purchase a $6 pancake ticket and know they are participating in a wonderful project for helping children!!! Sell - sell - sell. Every ticket you sell will directly benefit a child! It doesn't get much better than that!!!! Kiwanis....making a difference in one community and one child at a time! January Social Event The club will be attending a performance of Deer Camp for its January social event. The performance is at 3p.m. on Sunday, January 29th at the High Point Theater. Dinner plans following the performance will be determined soon. Deer Camp hilariously follows four fearless deer hunters on their annual trek to deer camp. But things are looking bleak this season. After decades of hunting trips, the guys have yet to bring home a single deer and the wives are getting suspicious. This season they need to show their wives that they are the mighty hunters they claim to be. This is not so easy when the thought of drinking beer and hanging out in the deer shack is more appealing than freezing in a deer stand. Luckily for our guys, what happens at deer camp stays at deer camp. Laugh and sing along as they hatch a plan to save their hunting paradise without firing a shot. This show features Tony Papenfuss (My Brother Darryl) and John Volstad (My Other Brother Darryl) from the Newhart show. Tickets will be $20 per person. RSVP to Bob Martin at bob.martin@highpointnc.gov or call at 883-3178. NEEDED: ITEMS FOR BOOK SALE Donations are being accepted for our book sale at Pancake Day! Don’t forget to bring in your gently used books, dvd’s, cd’s, cassettes, records, or any kind of media. Bring you donations to Mike Beck anytime of the day or night!
