VW Service Club to hold annual fundraiser

The Van Wert Service Club would like to announce its annual Pancake & Sausage Breakfast fund-raising event this Saturday, May 21, in the Van Wert High School commons from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.

According to Brad Greve, chairman of this year’s event, the annual Pancake and Sausage Breakfast is the first of two fund-raising events in which the club is involved in each year. The money raised at this breakfast event is used to fund many worthwhile projects and activities in the Van Wert community. The Service Club finances numerous countywide speech and hearing projects, including the Thomas Edison Speech & Hearing Center and the Van Wert County summer speech program. In years past, the club has provided speech amplification units in the Van Wert, Lincolnview, Crestview, and St. Mary’s school systems.

The Service Club also supports the following projects, activities, and organizations: Van Wert High School Service Pack Club, Van Wert Youth Baseball, Van Wert County Junior Fair, Van Wert County Junior Achievement, Boys and Girls State, R.K. Thompson Self-Reliance Scholarship & Award Program, Day of Caring Food Drive, Community Health Professionals, Van Wert County Hospital Emergency Room, Van Wert Historical Society, Van Wert City Educator Endowment, Van Wert DARE Program, Van Wert Youth Football, United Way, The Salvation Army, Van Wert 4-H, Boy Scouts of America, Wee Care Day Care, and Van Wert High School and Middle School Renaissance programs.

Adult tickets are $6 and Children $3. Tickets may be purchased at the door or from any Service Club member.
