A Flapjack Finale

This year the taste of pancakes and maple syrup was bittersweet, thanks to news that this summer’s Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast at Alameda Park could be the last. For more than 40 years, the rotary club has been holding the event to gather funds for S.B.-area projects, scholarships, and grants. “This year’s turnout has been great, but it might be due to the news that this is our last Pancake Breakfast,” said club member Tim Smith. “The charge for the park is very expensive, and not every year’s turnout is as great.”
