The Perry Kiwanis Club hosts their big annual fundraiser this weekend, and everyone is invited to the Elks Lodge for Pancake Day.
Club President Abi Albrecht says this is a long standing event that many look forward to. Plus, it helps them, help the community.
“Some of the big things that we do that people probably know about are the scholarships for the Perry High School kids. Every year we give between four to six scholarships and to date we have given 140 scholarships, totaling $82,450. Also we have given to the Perry Public Library for their summer reading program. We’ve helped with the fireworks for the 4th of July. We’ve given some money to Freedom for Youth ministries.”
Albrecht says it’s really about giving back to any local service group or community group that they can.
The event takes place from 7am-6:30pm Saturday at the Elks Lodge. Tickets are $6 in advance for adults and $4 for kids, with prices increasing by one dollar the day of the event. The menu includes all you can eat pancakes, sausages, juice, water and coffee.
