To the Editor,
Like a rite of passage, another successful Pancake Day has come and gone in the city of E Dorado. As we near the end of 2018, and reflect upon our accomplishments, The Kiwanis Club of El Dorado, would like to publicly express our heartfelt appreciation to all the sponsors and patrons who generously supported our 2018 Pancake Day. Almost 1,400 plates were prepared on Friday, October 26th. Without corporate sponsorship, community minded citizens, and a dedicated and supportive membership, our club could not come lose to accomplishing our primary goal, that of improving the lives of the children in our community. With hearts full of gratitude, we would like to publicly acknowledge the following sponsors, who helped to make our Pancake Day a success:
Clean Harbors, CIA Specialist, Inc, Code 3LLC, CP&P Construction, LLC, Diversified Services Lawn & Garden, First Financial, GBMc & Assoc., MCS, Tower Performance, and Tucker Energy Solutions.
Additionally, we acknowledge the generous support of Applied Inspection Systems, Chemtura, Emrich & Scroggins, Lycus LTD, Mangum Contracting, Merrill Lynch (Jamie Orten), Murphy USA, Red Ball Technical Gas, and TJC, Inc.
Also thank you to Apex Redi-Mixed Concrete, BROCK, Dr. Martin Baumgard er, DDS, Centro, Cheryl Cochran Wilson, CMI Insurance, El Dorado Printing & Stationery, Dr.Kenneth Gati, Industrial Valve Services, Ken’s Discount, Lawrence Electric, LD McMullan, Melvin’s Discount Pharmacy, Milam Construction, Nexans AmerCable, PVF Industrial Supply, Quality Electric, R.Jeffrey Sawyer, Attorney, Simmons First Bank, Smackover Bank, South Arkansas Personnel Service, Southern Bancorp, Storey’s Floor & Carpet, The System Group, William P.

As has been said many times, El Dorado is a community of giving and caring businesses and citizens. In closing, we would like to wish everyone a blessed and joyous Christmas, and happiness and prosperity in the New Year. “Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time."
