The Kiwanis Club of Cicero is hosting its annual Pancake Breakfast and Silent Auction on Saturday, July 7. The event will be conducted from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Cicero Christian Church, 1715 Stringtown Pike.
New to this year’s event is a special recognition celebration of area first responders. Emergency (EMS, Fire, Police, Sheriff) service personnel will be on hand with their fire trucks, ambulances, police, sheriff and emergency service vehicles for show and discussion.
“On behalf of the Cicero Kiwanis, we cordially invite all members of the community to this special breakfast as we celebrate the courage and sacrifice of the men and women of our local first responders,” said Keith Ecker, Cicero Kiwanis Club President. “These local heroes fight to serve and protect our community, an act we can often take for granted.”
Breakfast consists of eggs, pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy, fruit and beverages. Cost is $7 for adults and $5 for children ages 5 to 12. Children under 5 eat free. The Silent Auction features a wide variety of items, including sports tickets, golf packages, themed baskets, electronics, and restaurant and specialty gift certificates, to name a few.
Breakfast service begins at 8 a.m. Bidding for the silent auction will take place between 8 and 10:30 a.m. Recognition ceremony and remarks begins at 9:30 a.m. Proceeds benefit community service projects of the Cicero Kiwanis Club.
