About 300 students, teachers and parents passed the butter and syrup at the Kiwanis Club of Palm Harbor's pancake supper fundraiser Jan. 10 at Cypress Woods Elementary School in Palm Harbor. Juice, milk and coffee were donated by the school. Sizzling sausage links and all-you-could-eat pancakes were also in abundance, the pancake mix having been donated by Tiffany's Restaurant in Palm Harbor, where the club meets from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. every Tuesday. Kiwanis members who worked this event were Jack Keiler, Carl Heifetz, John Burnham, Chuck Winscott, Bob Book, Duane Young, Nick Johnson, John Papuga, Nate Middleton, Royal Eckstein, Bud Stein and John Kiker. All proceeds from the event will be used for the educational benefit of the children. * * * Dunedin Masonic Lodge 192 installed lodge officers Jan. 13. Installed as officers for 2007 were Chris Schlenker, worshipful master; B.J. Sammon, senior warden; John Lawless, junior warden; Dave Seidel, treasurer; Tim Bryce, secretary; Dave Carson, chaplain; Ken Giesow, marshal; Mike Wilson, senior deacon; John DiSanza, junior deacon; Ken Johnston, senior steward, Bob Haynes, organist; Bernie LaFleur, tyler, and Don Bolam, lodge instructor. * * * The GFWC Clearwater Community Woman's Club has selected Marie Grein as its 2006 Volunteer of the Year for her service to the club and community. Grein joined the club in 2004 and was elected treasurer, keeping track of all the funds raised by the club's Daisy Award Fashion Show and Evening With the Authors. A former teacher, Grein was a member and past president of the North Pinellas County Retired Educators Association and is currently president-elect of the Florida Retired Educators Association. Each week Grein introduces Skycrest Elementary students to the fascinating world of aerospace through an educational program sponsored by the Ninety-Nines, an International Organization of Women Pilots. Grein also served as the financial secretary at Faith United Church of Christ in Clearwater, where she worked with the Rev. Anton DeWet, who admired her positive attitude and service to others. Grein's award was presented at the club's holiday luncheon at Carlouel Yacht Club on Clearwater Beach, where Clearwater Community Woman's Club president Urith Fitzgerald welcomed four new members; Kathleen Moore, Sharon Krischer, Lois Jones and Susan Little. * * * Sertoma recently recognized Jeff Elsberry, Publix store manager at Clearwater-Largo Road and West Bay Drive, whose store leads the effort in collecting used hearing aids that Sertoma refurbishes for children who otherwise could not afford new ones. With the continued cooperation of Publix supermarkets in Pinellas County, Sertoma clubs have collected more than $1,600 from Publix shoppers.
