The Greenwich Lions Club Pancake Breakfast took place Saturday in a new venue – Cohen Eastern Greenwich Civic Center. Guests enjoyed unlimited pancakes, sausages, juice, coffee, live bluegrass music and much more.
Many in attendance described the event as a local tradition, sharing memories of the years the event was held in the original EGCC.
Proceeds from the event will benefit over 30 local non-profits through the Lions Club of Greenwich.
