The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard reports on local Kiwanis activities benefiting children and youth, during their weekly meeting at the Taylorville Moose Lodge on Tuesday.

Kiwanis members learned that last Saturday’s Pancake and Sausage Day at the Moose Lodge, served over 300 people and so far has grossed the club nearly 28-hundred dollars, with receipts from additional ticket sales yet to be turned in.  The Kiwanis Club thanks the Taylorville community who turned out in record numbers to enjoy Kiwanis pancakes and sausage with proceeds benefiting local Kiwanis projects for children and youth.

Kiwanis Builders’ Club liaison Will Perkins reported that the Taylorville Junior High Kiwanis Builders Club has some 42 members as it nears the end of the school year, with Kiwanis members delivering pizza to the club on Tuesday.

Kiwanis Park co-chair Larry Kemner reported that the replacement of the Kiwanis Park pavilion concrete, as well as a Kiwanis work day, both have been delayed due to rainy weather.

Kiwanis Spiritual Values chair Dick Wamsley reminded the club of the annual Prayer Luncheon May 24th when the “Outstanding Spiritual Leader” of the community will be named. 

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
