The Marlton Rotary Club held its annual Pancake Breakfast on Feb. 22 to help raise funds for Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey and Evesham Fire-Rescue. With their help, the event was a great success despite a late winter snowstorm.
There was excellent attendance and everyone enjoyed the pancakes and sausage provided by Dad’s Deli in Marlton. During the breakfast, the rotary also awarded $100 in gift cards to two students in the rotary’s essay contest.
The winners were Nilay Yadav, a sixth grader, and Aatish Gupta, an eighth grader, both from DeMasi Middle School.
Congratulations to both winners.
The Marlton Rotary was proud to present the proceeds from its efforts to the OYR and Evesham Fire-Rescue during its weekly club meeting on March 3 at Scaturro’s Restaurant.
Fire Chief Ted Lowden accepted a check on behalf of the fire department. Angelo Breaux of Family Jewelers in Marlton accepted a check representing Operation Yellow Ribbon.
These funds will help support heroes working in the community and troops both overseas and to welcome them home from deployment.
The Rotary Club will also use a portion of the fund for its Dictionary Project for elementary students and scholarships for Cherokee students.
The Marlton Rotary would also like to thank its many sponsors for the event for their continued support for its events.
The sponsor’s assistance helped make the Pancake Breakfast a victory for everyone. The rotary would also like to thank the many Cherokee students who attended and assisted in serving patrons and with clean up efforts.
