Pancake Breakfast

Brittan and her BFF Grace flipping pancakes!  

We had quite a crowd.  250 maybe?  

It was a bit chilly at 7am so Grace warmed her toes up with a couple of pancakes!  

Now you know how we collected so much money!  Could you say no to them?  

Cook for 250 people?  Sure, why not?  Brittan's cousins were rock stars!  
 
On Labor Day our family hosted a pancake breakfast for the 3 Rivers volunteer fire department that helped Brittan when she had her ATV accident.  We tossed the idea around  for a few weeks but it wasn't until Brittan and I were reading though her Personal Progress book (a goal setting tool from church) that she got excited about the idea of raising money for the fire department and counting it as one of her 10 hour service projects.  

We were able to raise $1504 flipping pancakes!  We owe a huge amount of thanks to Kati and Jay for putting together a great flyer and posters and to the Newsom family for their generosity in printing all 800 flyers!
