Pancake Breakfast 2018
 
 
 
 
 
Above are images of the 2018 Pancake Breakfast's volunteers and patrons.
 
The 2018 Pancake Breakfast took place at the, now very popular Skokie Backlot Bash, this past Sunday August 26. It was a very hot and humid day, but everyone had a great time nonetheless. This important fundraiser will benefit local charity organizations as it has it has been doing for the past several years.
 
We have been able to enact this fun-event successfully for so many years, thanks to the hard work of main organizer Al Rigoni,   all food donors, all club members and friends of Rotary who volunteered to help.
 
Our Thanks and gratitude goes to all who made this possible!
