Edmonds Sons of Norway to host pancake breakfast, bake sale Oct. 5

The Edmonds Sons of Norway Lodge is hosting its third pancake breakfast and bake sale of the year on Saturday, Oct. 5. This is the last time in 2013 to get your taste of Norwegian- style pancakes with all the trimmings.

The breakfast will run between 7:30 a.m.-noon at the Edmonds Masonic Center, 515 Dayton St. Breakfasts are a hearty portion of Norwegian pancakes with strawberries and syrup, ham, juice, coffee, tea and milk and cost $7 — kids under 5 are free. Enjoy live music and after you eat, visit the craft and bake sale tables. Kids can participate in free folk dancing lessons between 10 a.m.-noon.

Proceeds from the pancake breakfast events support several programs including a $1,000 Continuing Education Scholarship for a graduating high school senior. The 2013 scholarship recipient is Alex Thompson, who graduated from Edmonds-Woodway High School in June and this fall is attending Washington State University as a Computer Engineering major. Alex’s grandparents, Don and Fern Thompson, are charter members of the Edmonds Lodge and are still active in the community.

The Sons of Norway is the largest Norwegian organization outside of Norway with a mission of preserving and promoting Norwegian heritage and tradition through cultural and social activities offered at local and district lodges. New members are encouraged to apply. For more information, contact Bob Stevenson at 425-712-9788 or rlstevensonsurveyor@comcast.net.
