National Pancake Day This year IHOP National Pancake day is March 8th, 2016 Kiwanis family members can now register online (here) to be a volunteer at their local IHOP on March 8th. Members that sign up for shifts will be provided with talking points for greeting customers, explaining why IHOP is having a free pancake day.

Conversation on Conservation: Participate in our District Project this year, by helping reuse, reduce and recycle! You can find out more information by heading to the T-O Website, but just a headsup that updates are not automatically shown on the home dashboard of the website. Instead, go to “Projects and Events� on the navigation bar. This will take you to the post that contains activities for your club to do each month!
