PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE
Thank you to each of you for helping make
this one of our more successful Pancake Days in recent memory. I
know everyone is curious in how we performed and I have some
preliminary figures to share. More money is expected from our Key
Clubs, member billing, and last-minute Silent Auction collection
so the final total may be a few weeks away.
We had 1,163
people attend this year while we had 730 attend last year. We raised
$21,074, with expenses totaling $3,473, netting $17,601. Some
Pancake Day sub-totals were $90 in tips, $532 in book sale, and
approximately $5400 in Silent Auction. It was truly a great day and
Elmo thanks you.
This Saturday is Kiwanis One Day and our
Club project is to help Dell McCormick’s partner agency, the
Macedonia Family Resource Center, with painting his Teen Youth
Room. Please arrive promptly at 8:45 A.M. and wear work clothes. We
have about a halfdozen people participating. If you wish to
volunteer, please notify Dell at mccormick.pridell@gmail.com or
336-883-0300. If you wish to work on the District Kiwanis One Day
project; This year we will team up with other Kiwanis clubs in our
district to spend a day here in Greensboro at McIver Education
Center located at 1401 Summit Avenue on April 2nd. We will be
working with the vocational rehabilitation director. They need us to
do things like repair a bench, paint the entrance red, till several
small garden areas and a long list of other projects we can do if we
get the manpower. Wear your old work clothes & shoes that you don’t
mind getting dirty or paint on. Please contact our Lt. Governor,
Eddie Burks, at 336-963-2217 if you are interested in that project.

                   
March MADNESS
Talk about a bracket buster! This past week-end
did everyone in....there were only three brackets that had any of
the final four getting to the final four! Mark Seagle II and Judy 1
& 2 both had UConn making it through but none of them had them
winning in the semi's.....the rest of the brackets were without a
single one of the final 4 making it to Houston....guess we had
better stick to football prognostication! ( actually none of the tv
"experts" did much better than we did...no one saw this coming! )
Since the points to be awarded have run out after all the loses this
past week end, and none of the ones with UConn making it to Houston
show them winning in the semi's, I will announce the winner this
Friday.....no reason to wait for the championship game or even the
semi's since none of us had any of them right....oh, well...better
luck next year!
