So - you can have a tasty breakfast, with great service (we wait the tables), have some time of fellowship - and support a good cause. Tickets are $6 per person or 2 for $10...so bring a friend or make it a date morning. It sounds like a win-win situation to me - and you still will have time to do all those Saturday things you love to do - hope to see you there - I spent many of my younger years waiting tables...and this helps me keep my skills up - so come let me wait on you. See you then.
