Peppers offer 4-H pancake breakfast

There was a pancake breakfast care of the Waldorf Peppy Peppers 4-H Club at the community center on Sunday, April 12, with free-will donations accepted. They saw over 220 guests come through their doors. Proceeds go directly to the club and help kids go to camp and other club outings. Out in front of the community center were children fighting the wind to uphold the sign alerting drivers passing by outside.

 

Inside, protected from the wind, people feasted on eggs, sausages and pancakes with all the fixings. The kitchen was full of people serving and stocking food, with others out in the dining area gathering plates and wiping tables. Once they finished eating, children full of syrup ran around amongst the tables, doing what kids do.

 

Laura Wenzel and Nikki Chicos helped little ones take tickets at the door and keep track of the head count. Wenzel said, “We’re seeing good numbers this morning. A lot of people came out. We’re doing really good.” 

 

Natalie Roeker, a member of the Peppy Peppers said, “We have 38 people helping out this morning with 28 youth 4-H members. What we’ll do this morning is whatever we bought for breakfast that’s left over, we donate to the New Richland Food Shelf. The money raised goes to helping cover the cost of camps our club members are in. Not only that, we also purchase Christmas gifts for the wishing tree and complete Thanksgiving food bags for the NR Food Shelf.”

 

So what’s up next for 4-H? Roeker continued, “We’ll be decorating a hay bale at the county fair along with our club scrapbook and banner entries.” She also wanted to remind everyone, “There’ll be no meeting in May due to many families helping out with spring planting.”
