IT WAS AN excellent turnout for the Hurley Lions Club pancake breakfast fundraiser this past Palm Sunday at the Bell Chalet. Many enjoyed the delicious food and great opportunity to socialize after church.
HURLEY - The Hurley Lions Club held its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser Sunday morning at the Bell Chalet.
The Lions Club has been hosting the pancake fundraiser for 35 years and the proceeds raised benefit the Hurley 4-H Club as well as the 4-H Iron County Summer Youth Camp in Manitowish Waters, Wis.
Hurley Lions Club president Jerry Pisani said the many volunteers helping the Lions Sunday, including members of the Hurley 4-H club as well as campers and counselors of the youth camp.
The money raised helps benefit third through fifth graders that wish to attend the camp but may not have the funds or opportunity otherwise.
These elementary school kids were helping work the breakfast to raise the funds needed to send them to summer youth camp. Pisani said it is a great way to teach the kids to work hard as well as get them involved in raising the money that will send them to camp.
Also back for a second year was the fundraiser's silent auction. Pisani said it was a big hit.
"All of the items in the auction were donated by local businesses," Pisani explained. "The auction is such a nice compliment to the breakfast we decided to do it again for a second year."
There were about 50 items up for bid, including food items, blankets and a grill.
