Lions Club cooks up pancakes for community

The Canyon Lake Lions Club held its annual Pancake Breakfast for the community on Sunday at Holiday Harbor Park. For $6, residents enjoyed a breakfast of pancakes, sausage and eggs. More than 225 breakfast tickets were sold.

This year’s event was organized by Don Riley and Joanna Spiller. “Thank you to everyone who supported this event. We hope you enjoyed the food,” said Joanna. “We had better attendance than last year. “I think the cooler weather helped.”

Barbara Weatherman, Joanne Riley, Don Riley, Linda Kamashian and Phil Coughlin served as cooks. Fran Cota, Maureen Locken, Jane Dague, Laverne Cann, and Terry Pierce served as servers. Sharon Ormond, Ginger Harris, Joanne Ramos and Lila Gann worked the ticket and raffle booth. Jack Melcher and Karen Money served Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Other volunteers include George Middle, Kim Hurst and Rita Wacker.

Members of Cub Scout Pack 346 collected donations for the Lions White Cane Project. The project raises funds to purchase eyeglasses for those in need.

The leftover pancake mix and other food was donated to Canyon Lake Fire Station 60.
