PANCAKE BREAKFAST OFFERS NO “BATTER” WAY TO WATCH MACKINAC BOAT RACE FIVE SARNIA ROTARY CLUBS REPRESENTED

At the Annual Pancake Breakfast under the bridge on July 16, five Rotary clubs were represented assisting with this annual tradition. Rotary Club of Sarnia has been organizing in this community event for over 40 years.

The Rotary Club of Sarnia was ‘flipping’ excited for the return of its Annual Pancake Breakfast, alongside the Port Huron to Mackinac Boat Race.

Rotarian Kitty volunteered from 6:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the event alongside Rotarians from the three Sarnia terra clubs and the Global Passport club.

A very successful and well-attended activity!
