A pancake breakfast fundraising event held by the Fort Atkinson Rotarians and Interactors, the Rotary Club’s international service club for young people ages 12-18, netted some $1,000 to be used for community projects.
According to a news release supplied by the groups, the breakfast, which featured to-go meals, was held Sunday, March 13. Club members prepared the meals at the Fort Atkinson Club.
The meals featured pancakes with butter and syrup, Jones sausages and orange juice in paper to-go containers.
