And Kiwanis needs the community\u2019s support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To help finance its service projects, Jamestown Kiwanis holds its Pancake Day fundraiser once a year. The club raised about $9,500 in 2019. The club canceled Pancake Day in 2020 due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).<\/p>\n<p>Kiwanis Pancake Day Co-Chair, Toni Wegenast says, \u201cLike other nonprofits and service clubs, Kiwanis\u2019 canceled event left a void in the community. Now more than ever, we hope the community will support this cause and give back to organizations that really need it. Wegenast, Kiwanis Pancake Day is a great way to safely spend time with family and also support area nonprofits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She says, again this year, Hugo\u2019s Family Marketplace is sponsoring the event. That means every dollar raised is returned to the community.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure the safety of all guests, Kiwanis is limiting seating to 50% capacity and also offering an option for to-go meals.<\/p>\n<p>Searle points out, \u201cOur mission is kids,\u201d Swedlund said. \u201cOffering these COVID-friendly options ensures they all stay safe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown\u00a0 (Kiwanis Club)\u00a0 The 2021 \u00a0Pancake Day is 11 am to 7 pm Monday May 3, at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
