SF Rotary's Pancake Breakfast Raises $7,000.

At the regular weekly meeting of the Spring-Ford Rotary Club, the proceeds from the 34th Annual Pancake Breakfast totaling $7,000 were donated to the following community organizations: Spring-Ford High School Baseball, Spring City Pool, Spring Valley YMCA, Spring-Ford Historical Society, Project Outreach, Spring-Ford Youth Athletic League (SFYAL), Limerick Historical Society, Royersford Public Library, Spring City Library, and Open Door. The listed organizations supported our efforts by working at the breakfast, selling tickets, and helping Rotary promote the event. In the 34 years of hosting the event, well over $100,000 was raised and given back to the community. We gave away 39 great raffle prizes, mostly contributed by the Rotarians and local businesses.

Again we thank all in the community who supported our event. We served over 800 hungry people this year. We couldn't have done this without the help of our 39 Rotary members, their spouses and children. Also, much thanks goes to these community organizations (over 90 in all): Spring Ford baseball, Spring-Ford H.S. Interact Club and the Spring City Pool organization. The amount of help we had made things go so much faster. Moving, setup and cleanup went at a record pace.

Thanks much to the Interact Club for their cleanup efforts. Here is a summary of the event: Served 805 -Paying customers - close to a record crowd. 91 Helpers worked the event. We served 1600 links of delicious Hatfield sausage, over 700 glasses of Orange juice 100 apple juice and tomato juice. Tom Droege singlehandedly flipped about 2000 Pancakes. We scrambled about 1800 eggs, brewed and served about 900 cups of coffee, 700 slices toast served. Also, we served nearly 300 slices of world-famous shoo-fly pie baked by the Royersford First United Church of Christ.
