Pancake Breakfast RECAP – this year's event was a success. Combined efforts helped raise over $3,000 to support our community. Raffle baskets supplied by A Taste of Home Bakery as well as the TV coordinated by Kevin Lyons helped raise funds. Our Local KEY CLUBS were in attendance offering a very helpful hand. Key Clubbers aided in serving food and beverages, clearing tables, selling raffles and more. Look for our article in the April 23rd-30th Bellmore & Merrick Heralds.
