Annual Bethpage Christmas Parade - December 22, 2007 - Due to the late time of this year's parade, the brethren decided to 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.
