Once again the Pancake Breakfast was a
success. We served 1260
 breakfasts. The official count
of volunteers was 86, but we know that there were many
more. At 6:00 AM, we began to set up in a light rain. It
cleared by the time 8:00 arrived and breakfast was
served. Amazingly, the rain held off until closing time,
right at 1:00 PM. The entertainment was wonderful and
food was delicious.Nicolas Graft from That Cellular Place presented ICARE
with a check for $855 from a local initiative that
donates a percentage of the sale of red phones.
Art Schut, ICARE’s Executive Director, presented two
plaques (one for each store) to Matt Hartz, General
Manager of New Pioneer Co-op, for 20 years of support
and service. The plaques read:
New Pioneer Co-op
20 Years of Commitment
With sincere appreciation for outstanding support
of ICARE clients and our community
as primary sponsor of the Annual Pancake Breakfast
ICARE
June 3, 2007
Some of my personal highlights included:
- Volunteers dancing between tasks of pouring orange juice
and serving coffee
- Volunteers helping mothers with children and people with
special needs through the line
- Families spending time together volunteering
- A line of people about 25 deep for pancakes
It lived up to the billing of “Great food, wonderful
music, and good people for a worthy cause.”
