(Cass Co.) The Cass County 4-H Endowment committee is hosting the annual 4-H Endowment Pancake Supper on Tuesday, March 3 from 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic. The Pancake Man will be dishing up fresh pancakes while 4-H members serve sausage, milk, juice, and coffee. The public is welcome can enjoy all you can eat pancakes, at a cost of $10/adult and $6/youth 10 & under.
There will also a silent auction going on throughout the evening. The local 4-H clubs in Cass County, as well as additional friends of 4-H and local business supporters can donate items. If a community business is interested in supporting the Pancake Supper with a Silent Auction donation, please contact the Extension Office.
“The silent auction is a fun added activity to the event. When we make final announcements about closing down bidding, people and pens really get to moving!” says Katie Bateman, Cass County Youth Coordinator. “We will be featuring the baskets on our Cass County 4-H and Extension social media pages ahead of the event. Be sure to check out the previews and make plans to bid on your favorites!”
Proceeds from the 4-H Pancake Supper directly benefit the Cass County 4-H Program. All funds raised go to the Cass County 4-H Endowment. The committee then distributes money to cover the 4-H Program Development Fee for all Cass County 4-H and Clover Kid members, financial aid for out of county events, senior scholarships, and start-up dollars for innovative youth programs.
The 4-H Program Development Fee is $40 per youth each year to enroll. Instead of having individual 4-H’ers and families take on that expense, the Cass County Extension Council and the 4-H Endowment Committee pick up this cost for members. It is free for youth to join 4-H in Cass County because of this.
“We are very fortunate in Cass County that our 4-H Endowment covers this cost for all members. That would not be possible for us to continue without the outstanding support from our community.” stated Bateman.
