“This year’s Pancake Breakfast was both a success and a fun time for all,” said Allen O’Farrell, Chair of the Lions Pancake Breakfast.  “We had over 400 attendees who enjoyed the breakfast and entertainment, plus new this year, we were thrilled to have partnering non-profits set-up tables at the event.”

Attendees enjoyed pancakes, with chocolate chips as the most requested topping, as well as sausages, orange juice, coffee, tea and milk. Live music by the Long Meadow Band filled the GHS student center while kids could get their faces painted by Faces By Wells and the Greenwich Lions’ administered free eye screenings for 2 to 6 year olds.

Also, the Lion’s Club even presented their annual donation checks to the attending non-profits.
