Community invited to pancake breakfast

COLTS NECK — A breakfast to recognize and honor the community’s first aid squad members and firefighters will be held at the Colts Neck Community Church, 25 MerchantsWay, from 8 a.m. to noon Jan. 21.

Everyone is welcome to attend the pancake breakfast. There is no charge for the breakfast, but donations are welcome and all proceeds will go to the fire company and first aid squad, according to a press release.

All expenses are being covered by Perkins Family Restaurant of Colts Neck and the Colts Neck Community Church.

“All are welcome as we gather to recognize the commitment and hard work of the men andwomen of the fire company and first aid squad,” said Chris Durkin, pastor. “We are blessed to be able to give back to those who give so much of themselves here in town.”

There will be fire trucks on hand for inspection, equipment demonstrations, photos of firefighters in action and more.

“Afree meal is always great, but fellowship with people from the community is always a high priority for us here at the Colts Neck Community Church,” said Glen Dalakian, a deacon of the church.

George Stavropoulos and Savvas Papasavas of Perkins Family Restaurant (Colts Neck) have provided the pancake batter and other breakfast items to help make this event a success each year, according to the press release.
