Whether at breakfast, lunch or dinner, pancakes were on many area residents’ menus Tuesday.

The Brookhaven Servitium Club, formerly the Kiwanis Club, turned the State Room into an all-day diner with $5-a-plate, all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the 62nd annual Pancake and Sausage Day, as with past events, will go to area youth services. The pancake meal in February, combined with a fall Red Beans and Rice Day, goes a long way toward helping pump funds into a variety of youth-related programs in the area.

Included are a couple of scholarships at the Mississippi School of the Arts, annual scholarships for prospective ares high school students and as-needed scholarships for youth recreation programs.

“Anything related to youth services and children” is the focus of the club’s mission, explained Dustin Walker, Servitium president.

We can’t think of a better beneficiary of the club’s programs than our youth. We offer a special thank you to the Servitium Club, and particularly to pancake chairman Ron Donegan, for serving some mighty tasty food and a multitude of good deeds for our community.
