62nd Annual Greenwich Lions Pancake Breakfast Set For March 8

GREENWICH, CT — The Lions Club of Greenwich will hold its 62nd annual pancake breakfast on Saturday, March 8 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Greenwich High School Student Center.

"It will be the 62 Pancake Breakfast for the Lions Club and we are excited about our third year in Greenwich High School’s Student Center," said Allen O’Farrell, chair of the event.

As always, the veteran pancake chefs will serve up traditional and a few specialized flapjack varieties. The menu includes unlimited pancakes, sausages, syrup, orange juice, coffee, tea and milk. The Lions cooks will be manning the grills and preparing and flipping pancakes and sausages right in front of the customers, Allen explained.

"This event is more than just pancakes though, as we have entertainment, a bake sale, door prizes, free eye screening for 2 to 6 year olds and face painting by Faces By Wells, all for a great cause. Plus, new this year, we’ll be presenting the Lion’s Club donations to over 30 local nonprofits," Allen added.

Proceeds from the breakfast will support the many service projects that the Greenwich Lion’s Club conducts to help Greenwich residents and those in surrounding communities.

Tickets are available in advance for $8 each at Perrot Library’s adult circulation desk and/or any Greenwich Lions Club member, or $10 each at the door; kids 5 years old and under are free.

For more than 100 years, the Lions Club of Greenwich has provided and supported health and human services through numerous projects to help those in need locally, regionally, and around the world.

With the motto "We Serve," the group is known for fighting blindness, serving youth, providing award grants, helping during disasters, caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.
