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.
