PILOTS CLUB PANCAKE BREAKFAST

The pancake breakfast was a success, thanks to the community support. We served 633 breakfasts.

Due to the rain, the War Birds were unable to fly in.

 

The pilots club gave out two scholarships this year with some of the money we raised at last years' breakfast. Zack Hawk and Chip Mintchell were the scholarship winners.
