The Montgomery County-Blacksburg Kiwanis Club will hold a pancake and sausage breakfast and membership drive on Saturday, March 21, at Blacksburg United Methodist Church’s Whisner Building, at the corner of Lee and Penn streets. Breakfast will be served from 8:00-11 a.m. Tickets may be purchased at the door for $7.00 or from club members.
In the Kiwanis spirit of changing the world one child in one community at a time, the local club uses all the proceeds to support local children and youth by sponsoring the Blacksburg High School Key Club, the arts program at Prices Fork Elementary School and the Virginia Tech Circle K.
The club also stocks food pantries for 4- and 5 year-old at-risk students and their siblings at two elementary schools, supplies parents of newborn and young children with ID kits, purchases books for at-risk pre-school children at ten elementary schools, sponsors Salvation Army Christmas angels for younger children and serves as bell ringers during the Christmas season
The club further donates to Scouts, Boys and Girls State, the Women’s Resource Center, the Children’s Miracle Network, and Boys and Girls clubs. Kiwanians staff the concession stand for the Special Olympics basketball tournament with proceeds going to Special Olympics.
Table sponsorships are available.
Information about club membership will be available at the breakfast. Additional information may be gathered by contacting Gene Cliff at 540-552-4411 or at ecliff@vt.edu.
