SIDNEY Founded on Nov. 17, 1920, the Sidney Kiwanis have been serving the local community for 100 years.
“We look forward to celebrating with a 100th anniversary banquet later this year if the pandemic allows,” said President Jim Cole.
His report continues:
2020 proved to be a challenging year as we had to cancel our Annual Pancake Day due to COVID. This is one of our three main fundraisers each year. Our sponsorship campaign was completed before covid started. The Annual Labor Day Chicken Bar-B-Que was extremely successful as we sold 2,000 dinners before 3 PM. Much thanks to the community for supporting this annual event.
