Pancake supper revived

The recent Mardi Gras Pancake Supper was well attended and deemed a success by partner organizers from Grace Episcopal and First Methodist churches. After having been cancelled each year over the past several years due to the pandemic, as well as a reduction in volunteers at Grace, the supper this year had fresh input and energy due to the participation of First Methodist helpers.
