Breakfast serves up Kiwanis-family style

Each year, for the past 31 years, the Kiwanis Club of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, serves up a hearty breakfast fundraiser to sweeten its community service coffers. The Kiwanians keep the griddles hot, cooking messes of pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, home fries, and bacon—to name a few menu items.

This past year, as they served a record 300 patrons, they had a little help. Actually, a lot of help. Members of the Phoenixville and CAT-Pickering high schools’ Key Clubs and Phoenixville Middle School Builders Club worked alongside their sponsoring Kiwanis club’s members, waiting on tables and even helping in the kitchen.

“This is the first year we’ve had so much help from them,” says Kiwanis club secretary Ken Wickstrom. “One Key Clubber was even helping beside me, peeling potatoes and frying pancakes.”
