Annual Fundraiser Offers Pancakes, Sausage and More

[January 30, 2008]  There are certain magic words in this community. Two of them are "pancakes" and "sausage." Couple those words with another all-time favorite phrase, "all you can eat," and that should be enough to attract everyone's interest.

On Saturday, the Zion Lutheran School's PTL will host its annual pancake and sausage breakfast, or lunch, or both if you want to visit twice, from 7 a.m. till 1 p.m. The event will be at the school, 1600 Woodlawn Road, on Lincoln's west side.

Adult tickets are only $5, and children's tickets only $3 (3-12-year-olds). Children 2 and under can nibble away for free. Carryouts are available.

Besides the meal, fresh sausage and other pork items will be available for bulk purchase at the school that day until 2 p.m.

The event will also include a silent auction and bake sale.

Proceeds from the annual fundraiser, with significant help from Thrivent Financial Services for Lutherans and many local businesses as well as the farm community, are used to purchase and upgrade school computers as well as to fund a scholarship for a student to attend the school. Other programs that receive funding from the event are improvements to playground equipment and the Reading Is Fundamental program.

The annual event has been a staple of the school since soon after its opening in 1975.

Everyone in the community is invited to visit the school, have a great meal and help a worthy cause.
