To the Editor:

On Feb. 21, our Boy Scout troop had a pancake breakfast to earn money for our Gettysburg trip. All the Scouts had jobs like taking orders, busing tables, and bringing food and drink out.

Over 70 people came to eat!

We wanted to thank everyone that donated the supplies: Kaaterskill Associates, Wolanin Companies, Shoprite, Stewart’s, Hannaford, and Price Chopper.  Thank you also to the Berne Masons for the use of the lodge.

We will be camping at the Granite Hill Campground; visiting the Gettysburg Museum of History, the Soldiers National Cemetery, the museum and visitors’ center, the Shriver House; going on the Jenny Wade ghost tour; and visiting the Lincoln Train Museum with the money we earned at the breakfast.

Thank you to everyone that helped out and came to support Troop 79's pancake breakfast.
