Annual Bethpage Christmas Parade - December 22, 2007

not have an entry in this years parade and instead spend that time with
our families. We hope that we can have an entry again in 2008. |

Annual Pancake Breakfast - Saturday, February 2, 2008 -
This year's pancake breakfast was a fundraiser for a different
reason. Normally the proceeds from our breakfast go to fund a
scholarship for a local graduating student. This year, we had a
brother who needs help. Bro. Billy Burroughs' wife, Betty, has
been battling illness for most of last year and is currently
hospitalized following major surgery. She is in the University of
Maryland Medical Center and Bro. Billy is staying with her. All
proceeds from this year's breakfast will go the Burroughs family to help
with expenses. With the phenomenal turnout we had, from the
breakfast fundraiser and the many numerous donations that poured in, we
were able to provide the Burroughs family with more than
$12,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A TREMENDOUS thank
you to everyone who helped that morning and all who donated items,
money, or who bought a ticket. |
