Each Year our club conducts three major fund raising activities:

(Pancake Day, Vidalia Onions and Peanut Day)

We also receive a donation from your online purchases at Giveline

Welcome to Spring Pancake Day
On Saturday, May 12^th 2007 we held our annual Welcome to Spring Pancake Breakfast in Downers Grove. We thank those who attended, and hope to see you again next year. This important fund raiser helps our club continue its

tradition of service to the community. Next year we will again serve delicious pancakes with butter, maple syrup and sausages using the facilities of the Downers Grove Christian School, 929 Maple Ave., Downers Grove from 7:00 am till noon. We will have regular and decaf coffee, orange juice and regular and chocolate milk. All this was for only $6 per adult and $4 per child under 12 at the door, or you may have bought a pre-sell ticket from any Kiwanian for $5 per adult and $3 per child. Come meet your neighbors advance reservation is not required.

Thanks to our Pancake Day Sponsors, we offer a $1 discount coupon. Those sponsors along with our Annual Sponsors and Peanut Day Sponsors are recognized with listings on the place mats used at the pancake day breakfast and throughout the year at Kiwanis meetings and programs. For all Our Contributors we also offer to list them on our web site.

Vidalia Onions

A popular side activity to the Pancake Breakfast is the delicious Vidalia Onion sales. These sweet onions are sold in 10 pound bags for $10 each. If you have never tried them, we have several recipes for you. Pre-ordering is required so that we can be sure to have enough onions for your pick up at the Pancake Breakfast. Should you be unable to attend the Pancake Breakfast, local delivery can be arranged.

Peanut Day
September is peanut time. Of course we get out there and distribute those delicious

salted bags of peanuts the fourth week-end of September, but we also sell cases of 100 ¾oz bags of peanuts for only $40 per case. These make a great gift for your business or for Halloween. We honor those individuals and businesses who purchase one or more cases by listing them on the Pancake Day place mats which we use throughout the year and offer to place their name on our web site. If you would like to order peanuts by the case for the Fall, please submit your order below or visit our peanut order page. We recommend the form on the peanut order page for those who desire a link to their web site.

We thank all the motorists and commuters who purchased peanuts from us, but we would especially like to thank the youth groups from St. Mary's Church, Downers Grove High School Key Club and the Scouts from Troop 84 who help us distribute those peanuts.

Heritage Festival
We apologize to those who look for our food booth at the Downers Grove Heritage Festival each

June, where we served delicious meals using the meats from Chuck's Meat Market. Chuck's has recently closed, but the Downers Grove Kiwanis Club will still have an informational booth in the center of Heritage Festival. Besides being able to tell you about our club, we have reprinted the Maple Avenue Historic Walk Booklet for you to enjoy in honor of Downers Grove's 175^th. Anniversary. Look for our club banner and our Annual Sponsor Banner. This will be a great opportunity for you to find out about our club and share in our achievements.

The Kiwanis Club of Downers Grove organizes many fun and interesting events throughout the year to benefit our community, our citizens and several local charitable groups. Visit our Activities page for a brief listing of those events. For a listing of the charities we provide and support, visit our Sponsored Programs page.
