Mark your calendars: The Kiwanis Club of Champaign-Urbana is hosting its 25th annual Pancake Breakfast from 7:30 to 11 a.m. May 18 at Bromley Hall on the University of Illinois campus.

If the anniversary isn't a big-enough deal, here's another reason to pony up $7 for a good cause and a full plate: A chance to wish Lou Henson well.

The UI's all-time-winningest coach said he'd try his best to attend.

Henson, 87, has been a regular at the breakfast even when recuperating from bouts of illness.

A programming note: Our popular radio show, "Illini Pella Saturday SportsTalk," will once again broadcast from the event, with co-hosts Steve Kelly and Loren Tate talking shop from 9 to 11 a.
