Happy New Year

Kiwanis News

Pancakes with Santa was held on Saturday, December 6 and raised approximately $1,000.

I am so excited to end 2014 with a successful Pancake Breakfast and start a new year with plans to continue to help our community. I am very proud of the work we have completed in 2014 with four great fundraisers. I can’t wait to see the success we will have in 2015! I believe we have done a fantastic job helping our community this year.

I want to thank each and every one of you that have helped and par-ticipated in our events this year!! Without your help and generosity Kiwanis would not have been able to make an impact on our community. Thank you all so much!!! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Look-ing forward to an amazing 2015! AdriannePancakes with Santa
