Pancake Breakfast Brings Out The Crowds On A Gloomy Day In Newtown
NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Newtown Rotary Club’s griddle team was back in action Sunday morning whipping up the best pancakes around.
Newtown Rotarians Paul Salvatore and Kyle Davis were again working the griddle as a constant flow of patrons passed through the doors of the American Legion Hall.
Inside, Chef Joe Garvey was spending a busy day coordinating a banquet of breakfast foods including waffles, homemade sausage, breakfast potatoes, fresh strawberries, an assortment of muffins, scrambled eggs, and more.

Rotary Club President Debra Porter was busy working on the serving line dishing out fried potatoes and freshly made pancakes to hungry breakfast patrons. “Look at how perfect these are. Kyle Davis and Paul Salvatore make beautiful pancakes,” she said.
The breakfast, chaired by Rotarian Mark Craig, was revived last year as a fundraiser for the American Legion to defray the cost of staging the Newtown Memorial Day Parade.
“It’s been great today,” said Craig. “I think we’re up 25 to 30 percent over last year. Joe does a wonderful job with the food and this is probably the best value of any breakfast around. It’s met and exceeded our expectations.”
This year’s proceeds will also be donated to the Legion with money raised above and beyond benefiting other Rotary charities.
