The annual Pancake Breakfast is confirmed for Sunday May 31, 2009 from 8 am to noon, at the Centennial Recreation Center, 171 W. Edmundson Dr., Morgan Hill. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for seniors over 60 and children under 12.
Unlike all of our past Pancake Breakfasts, the City of Morgan Hill will no longer allow the Lions to post any signage for the event on public or personal property. Our signs have historically been our most successful method of getting information out to the community of upcoming events. Lions are asked to get the word out about the event by word-of-mouth, email, or by flyer.
For tickets and further information, contact the event chairman, Ron Tomasello (408) 779-6178.
Once again Morgan Hill Lions will be helping setup the Mushroom Mardi Gras being held in downtown Morgan Hill throughout Memorial Day Weekend. Workers are needed for all days to assist with the event setup and tear down.
For information about the event, contact Lion Frank Portera (FRANK10V11[at]aol[dot]com).
Morgan Hill Lions were out at sunrise on Sunday May 17 at Community Park to serve breakfast to the volunteer walkers in this year’s Relay for Life fundraiser.

Lions supporting this event were: Robert Long, Bill and Loreen Adams, Frank Portera, Joe Morris, Jeanine Healy, and Robert Caballero.
The annual pancake breakfast is tentatively scheduled for May 31, 2009 at Centennial Hall in Morgan Hill. Club members are finalizing the availability of the hall and the availability of the Boy Scouts to help at the event.
