St. Marys Kiwanis pancake breakfast set for April 17

The Kiwanis Club of St. Marys met on Tuesday to discuss several topics, two of which include the Kiwanis Pancake Day and the local library’s Summer Reading Request.

While many different things were talked about during the meeting, though one of their main focuses was on ticket sales for an event coming up on April 17 known as Pancake Day, a fundraiser they plan on using to fund some of their community projects.

Pancake Day, scheduled to occur on a Saturday, is an event where food will be served out to anyone that buys a ticket for the event. The event is planned to be open to the public from 8 am to 11 am, with it taking place at 1036 Hager Street, otherwise known as Vancrest of St. Marys.

Tickets for the event are selling, though they do want to eventually sell more. A count will be done on April to determine what will be done for the event. Many of the business participating in selling these tickets are willing to give them on request, with

the going rate being $6 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.

“I think we need to have a couple hundred sold if this is going to go,” Doug Moran, one of the members said about ticket sales. “Gotta get out there and sell tickets.”

Tickets can be bought by any member of the club, along with several locations such as Vancrest of St. Marys, Moran Refrigeration, Living Hope Assembly of God, Shultz Huber & Associates, Inc. and the St. Marys Chamber of Commerce.

The Summer Reading Request was also on the agenda, with the St. Marys Community Public Library (SMCPL) sorting several things out with the Kiwanis Club.

It is said that the SMCPL is accepting monetary donations or gift baskets for the occasion. However, despite donations being accepted, the situation has been shelved for now due to brainstorming.

While some details are being planned out, the library is excited about this year due to the upcoming 100 year anniversary and their upcoming theme “100 year of tails and tales.” Another Story Walk, which they did in conjunction with the Bunny Trail April 3, is also being determined.
