This year’s Kiwanis Pancake Day is again being sponsored by South Central Regional Medical Center.   “We are so very thankful for the partnership with South Central Regional Medical Center as our title sponsor for Kiwanis Pancake Day and for all of our other sponsors who make this event possible,” said Michael Cudworth, President of the Kiwanis Club of Laurel.   Tickets are $10 each in advance and available from any Kiwanis Club of Laurel member and also $10 at the door.
