Nothing like getting two teens up and out at 6:00am to do volunteer work with a 2 hour drive to get there. The drive to Farmville was quiet and uneventful. Once there President Reed introduce us to some of the crew and we got right to work at the Pancake Breakfast fundraiser. The boys; Chad my son a Rotarian in training and Stan our exchange student from Prague, worked the dining room clearing tables and I was in the kitchen on sausage duty.
This fundraiser will benefit the Youth Association Soccer Program. This was the first fundraiser for a club outside of my own club. Many of the members were surprised not only by the challenge but that we would get up early on a Saturday morning and drive two hours just to help out. This was a well oiled team and they were flipping pancakes and serving food with synchronization. At one point both boys came into the kitchen, Chad flipping pancakes & Stan serving up the sausage. It was a pleasure to help take part in the event and to enjoy a good breakfast.
The club had a face painter who was painting the Rotary emblem on some of the members, they have a lot of spirit and it showed. I look forward to coming back to Farmville to present post NID in February or March.
Meal $6.
