Medfield Lions Club president Steve Kramer said declining attendance over the past couple years led to the organization’s decision not to hold its annual Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast at the American Legion this year.
Declining attendance over the years has led to the Medfield Lions Club’s decision not to hold its annual Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast at the American Legion this year. “Over the past several years, attendance at the breakfast has diminished from several hundred to less than two hundred,” said Medfield Lions president Steve Kramer. “The Lions conduct many fundraising and charity events during the year and with the available resources we have – we like to maximize the number of those who can take advantage of our events and programs. The breakfast requires substantial preparation and participation by members and we decided this year to devote the resources to other events in the spring, which will benefit the community and charities we …
