Rehoboth
Beach Club - Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser
by Rosemary Cummings
Now it really is not news that another Kiwanis Club had a pancake breakfast fundraiser. What made the Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Club so special is that the entire Kiwanis Family served the Pancake Breakfast as a community fundraiser at Applebee's Restaurant in Rehoboth in December. It truly was a family event, as over 40 Kiwanians, K-Kids, Key Clubbers, and even parents, worked side by side from 7:30 -11 AM serving pancakes, pouring beverages, bussing tables, and setting tables for the friends and families, who started their morning with Pancakes and sausage, before heading to the Outlets for Christmas shopping. Teams of K-Kids and Key Club members worked together to serve the patrons, many meeting for the first time and really having fun together. Customers raved about the excellent service (and even gave large tips), and the K-Kids asked when they could volunteer again. Kudos goes to Kiwanian, Jim Kunkle for arranging the logistics and publicity for this successful event and to all the members who sold the tickets. A special thank you goes to the Rehoboth Beach Applebee's and their staff for making the event possible. Management hinted the Key Club members may even have jobs there during the busy season. This was the first time in many years the Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Club had this type fundraiser and certainly a first, for the Kiwanians collaborating with their Sponsored Club members.
