Planning for Our Annual Pancake Breakfast

At last week's meeting, we discussed the need for planning our Annual Pancake Breakfast. When Tim and I attended the District 15 meeting the week before, we noticed that almost every Kiwanis Club was planning a Pancake Breakfast for March or April. Lt. Governor Jerry Seppelt suggested we all try to support each other's Pancake Breakfasts. I suggested two things to Tim as we drove home-one, if we supported everyone's Pancake Breakfast we would probably gain ten pounds and, by the time our Pancake Breakfast came around we would be very tired of pancakes.

When I shared these observations with the club, my fears were calmed because, true to form, the South East Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast is "More than a Pancake Breakfast" because we serve french toast as well. I am sorry that Tim and I won't be there to help plan the breakfast since we travel to Columbus the last Wednesday of every month, but we will be there to help out the day of the breakfast.

I made Dennis promise not to volunteer Tim and me for too many tasks, but he just chuckled in that way he has. Should I be worried?

precedents

There are some precedents to which we should be paying attention as we take our new blogsite forward; here is a sampling of what others have been doing lately:

• Dunwoody Kiwanis Club
• Kiwanis Club of Pierce, Nebraska
• Kiwanis Club of Springfield OH
• Division 14, Georgia District Kiwanis
• Wisconsin Upper Michigan District of Kiwanis
• Shawnee Kiwanis
• Campbell Kiwanis

here we go!

This is the first post of the new blogsite of the members of the Kiwanis Club of South East Cleveland. Every member has the privilege of sharing publishing rights on this blog. This blog will be self-organizing in the best traditions of open-space technology. I will not presume to have the standing to lecture any of my fellow Kiwanis members on deportment or blog conduct. You know the drill; the same rules of civility and gentility apply here as in our club.
