News and Notices:
40th Annual Pancake Breakfast, another
SUCCESS!
June 15th
- The Skantarians, Interacters and friends, once again shared a fun filled and
busy Fathers Day serving about 3,500 guests at their 40th Annual Pancake Breakfast.
In addition to thousands of pancakes, eggs and sausages being consumed,
and old friends and family meeting up, a few
hundred flares were sold by the Boy Scouts, shirts and balloons marketed by the
Interact club, and a John Deere tractor raffled by the Sunrise Rotary club. Our many thanks to all those that
chipped in for that extra ordinary effort for the past four days of set-up,
flipping, and tear-down to make this event a great success.

how their vocations are practiced abroad, develop personal and professional
relationships, and exchange ideas.
The team leader is a knowledgeable Rotarian.
