8A • October 27, 2017 • Seaside Signal • seasidesignal.com Seaside Kids gets boost from annual pancake feed Four hundred people attend annual event By Katherine Lacaze For Seaside Signal Over all-you-can-eat pan- cakes and sausage, community members gathered and social- ized to support an organization whose mission to serve the ar- ea’s young people is encapsu- lated in its simple name: Sea- side Kids, Inc. The organization has been furthering said mission for more than 60 years by provid- ing healthy, wholesome athlet- ic activities to more than 600 local kids annually. Doing so is made possible because of one important factor, according to board member John Morris: “The community really sup- ports us.” That was evident during the Seaside Kids’ annual Pan- cake and Sausage Feed, held the evening of Oct. 17, when more than 400 people fi ltered through the Seaside Civic and Convention Center to partake in one of the organization’s longstanding fundraising tra- ditions. Throughout the event, volunteers plated the break- fast-turned-dinner items, which were prepared by Or- egon Fine Foods, and young football players dressed in their game jerseys fi lled attendees’ water cups and cleared used plates and napkins off tables. Seaside Kids’ priority is providing free athletic oppor- tunities to children, primarily from Seaside, Gearhart, Can- non Beach and, less frequently, Warrenton, Jewell and Astoria, according to Morris. The fam- baseball programs, in addition to sponsoring free swim ses- sions at the Sunset Pool and other occasional activities. Past programs, however, have included bowling, bas- ketball, gymnastics, wrestling, volleyball, golf and track. In- dividual activities or programs may come and go through the years because they depend on having interested adults will- ing to provide the necessary leadership and organization to sustain them, Morris said. In general, parents are an integral aspect of the organization’s success. They serve as coach- es, and their degree of involve- ment often affects the positive outcomes for the children. Each athletic program em- phasizes development of fun- damental skills related to the respective sport, but coaches also are intentional about cul- tivating other life skills, such as self-confi dence, teamwork, communication and good sportsmanship, to promote the Seaside Kids’ motto: “Active youth today, active leaders to- morrow.” Morris can vouch for that motto. He played in Seaside Kids programs while in ele- mentary school, took a turn coaching in the past and has served on the board about 20 years. In his experience, “a lot of kids that go through the pro- gram go on to become really good citizens and leaders,” he said. Because Seaside Kids is operated and sustained en- tirely by volunteers, there are plenty of ways to get in- volved: coaching, umpiring, fi eld preparation or conces- sions.
