TODAY WAS A FUN "FATHER'S DAY" FOR THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB.
THE CLUB, FOR THE 2ND YEAR, SPONSORED A PANCAKE BREAKFAST AT THE
MAQUOKETA AIRPORT. IT STARTED OUT WITH SOME FOG, WHICH QUICKLY
CLEARED, AND THEN TURNED OUT TO BE A BEAUTIFUL MORNING.
AGAIN THIS YEAR, THE PANCAKES WERE MADE AND FLIPPED BY CHRIS
PANCAKES OF NORTHWEST IOWA....A PRO. MANY TIMES, HE WOULD FLIP ALL 4 OR 5 CAKES TO THE NEXT PERSON IN LINE. MOST OF THE TIME, THEY CAUGHT THEM. IT WAS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A LAUGH WHEN HE FLIPPED
THE DELICIOUS CAKES. WITH SAUSAGE, FRUIT, JUICE AND COFFEE....IT WAS A GREAT BREAKFAST, ALL YOU COULD EAT. THANKS TO ROTARIAN
WILL RENNER FOR "CHAIRING" THE EVENT AGAIN...HE HAD EVERYTHING
WELL ORGANIZED AND MANY ROTARIANS WERE ON HAND TO HELP FOR AN HOUR OR TWO OR ALL MORNING. LOTS OF WORK DONE BY CONNIE TJARKS, OUR ROTARY PRESIDENT UNTIL JUNE 30TH WHEN HER YEAR COMES TO AN END...AND SHE HAS DONE WELL DURING HER YEAR. PILOTS THAT FLEW IN, GOT BREAKFAST FREE AND THERE WERE 41 PLANES....POSSIBLY A RECORD. THEY CAME FROM CHICAGO, MARION, CARTHAGE, CEDAR RAPIDS, VINTON, DUBUQUE, BURLINGTON, DEWITT, LONG GROVE, INDEPENDENCE, MANCHESTER, WEST UNION, DECORAH, ZWINGLE, CUBA CITY, LISBON, IOWA CITY, TIPTION, AND OTHERS...ONE FROM MAQUOKETA. A TOTAL OF 521 PEOPLE WERE SERVED BREAKFAST, INCLUDING THE PILOTS.
THANK YOU FOR COMING!
