Once again we transformed the Fellowship hall into a Fast Food Restaurant on Monday before Shrove Tuesday. IHOP would be envious of the way that we perform in preparation of and during our traditional fundraiser known as Pancake Day. By the time I arrived on Tuesday morning, Mr. Bennett was cooking sausage, Mr. Blann was mixing pancake batter, Mr. Howell was prepping the grill, Mrs. Howell was getting things lined out for to go orders, Mr. Leabo was getting the coffee ready, and Mr. Verman was at the door waiting on our first customer the Health Inspector. Once we were approved by the Health Inspector we were off to the races. And I mean off to the races. The few of us that were there completely understand the meaning of multitasking, because that is what we did. We worked together as a team and found out what it would be like to work in a Fast Food Restaurant. I think I can speak for all that were there that we were never as happy as when the Scouts started getting out of school and showing up to work. They saved the day, once again. All said and done we were done and cleaned up as if Pancake Day never occurred by 9pm. I would like to thank all of the parents, leaders, parishioners, and especially the Scouts that helped make this another successful Pancake Day in Troop 282 lore.
