Preparing for our Big Event - the 22nd Annual Pancake Breakfast
Mark your calendars - Sunday, 23 April from 9 am to 12 noon, for our biggest event of the year - The 22nd Annual Pancake Breakfast. As in earlier years, St. John's Riverside Hospital will be hosting our event. While it is called the Pancake Breakfast, it is much more than that. For the nominal $10 admission you get not only a full all-you-can-eat breakfast, but can also win a large number of prizes, from a 43" LED TV, 2 tablets, video projector, movie passes and food vouchers, baskets of cheer, pet-care and auto-care ensembles, restaurant gift cards, Touchless Paper Towel Dispenser and many more. More prizes added as they come.
There will be a free photo kiosk for everyone, coloring kits for children, a 50/50 raffle and hourly door prizes. You can ensure your place in the event by getting your tickets in advance.
We are grateful to many local businesses and individuals who have donated prizes or money towards the event.
