Tuesday serves up pancakes, coffee, and lots of laughs

If you know where to look, every day is National something-or-other day. Today gets pancakes, and the International House of Pancakes is celebrating accordingly with a free short stack. It is a fundraiser for the Children’s Medical Network, so leave something for the organization in addition to the tip. CASA, Court-appointed Special Advocates, is always looking for more volunteers to stand up for children. Join them for coffee and find out more about this great organization. The kids of Carson High School find ways to engage the community all year round: tonight they are going to make you laugh. Head to the Community Center for ‘Tuesday Night Live’ and see what these talented students can do.
