OK, everybody. I'm counting on you folks to help us . On Saturday morning, I along with about 20 other adults, and 100 high school studens, will be dishing up a bonafide feast of a breakfast, and I sure hope to see a lot of forum regulars there! Here's all the details:

When: This Saturday from 8:00AM till we run out of food.

Where: Laconia High School Cafeteria

Why: To benefit the Denning Family who operated the very popular Egg-cellent Restaurant which burned in the Major Brands Plaza Fire.

This event has been spearheaded by a small group of teenagers who attend LHS with the Denning's children. All the food and beverage products have been donated by Sysco Foods, McDonalds, C.S.Woods, Oakhurst Dairy, Irving, Pepsi, Walter's Market, Vista Foods, Hannaford, Shaws and even Walmart! Lakes Region Linen has donated Linen Tableclothes, and "Your Neighborhood Florist" is providing floral centerpieces. The High School has generously offered the use of their kitchen and cafeteria, and the Director of the Culinary Arts Program is also going to be doing some of the cooking in the Tech Center's kitchen as well!

Many area residents and business owners are coming together to help these students, and now all we need is you.

The cost of entry is a donation - minimum of $5.00. We'll feed you eggs, bacon, sausage, homefries, toast and pancakes, coffee, orange juice and milk. There will also be a Silent Auction of items donated by various local businesses and individuals.

We're very well aware that what we raise that day will be nowhere near enough to get them back in business, but it's a start. Plus, this is a great opportunity for all of us to show these High School students that we are indeed a COMMUNITY, and as such we will all rally together in times of need.

So, I hope to see many of you there and I hope you'll all spread the word as well. If you're planning on attending the sled dog races, why not stop by the High School first, for a great hearty breakfast, for a great cause. Waddaya say?????
