This Year's Pancake Breakfast (2021) - Canceled
The Skaneateles Rotary Club has canceled this year’s Father’s Day Pancake Breakfast, deciding that it is just too soon to attempt to serve more than 3,000 people in one venue.

We want to wish all dads and families a happy Father’s Day this year, and we hope you will put the pancake breakfast on your calendar for next year! What a feast of fun and community (not to mention pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee, and juice) we will have a year from now.
The breakfast is one of Rotary’s biggest fundraisers each year. Last year, the community came through in a huge way to help us raise funds in new ways – so our support of community projects, groups and organizations could continue. THANK YOU.

With the same exuberance he brought to Skaneateles as an exchange student in 2011-12, Thomas Boxho spoke to Skaneateles Rotarians on Zoom Thursday night. Boxho was 17 when he left Belgium for a year in Skaneateles. It was a decision that changed his life and made him a better person, he said. “I tell people ‘Do it! Jump in. Don’t be afraid!’ It changes you. I had the best year of my entire life.”
Rotarians recently enjoyed an in-person meeting while making use of a great lesson learned in the pandemic: with Zoom, speakers can be from anywhere! Exchange student Lucas Grob (2007-2008, from Switzerland) joined the meeting from his home in Zurich. Grob thanked the Rotary Club, the Skaneateles community, and his host families for the year that changed his life. He lived with the Loreys, Frackenpohls and Trapanis. Host brother Tyler Lorey is now a Rotarian, and helped set up the on-line reunion. “Lucas is the brother I never had, and one of the dearest friends I’ve ever had.” Lorey said Grob was “the number one influencer for me to become a Rotary Youth Exchange student to Chile.” (Tyler was a junior the year the Grob was here). 
Rotarians in the Skaneateles Rotary Club restocked local food pantry cupboards this spring, thanks to all of the community members who contributed to the club’s recent food drive.About 80 large boxes of food were donated to the Spafford and Skaneateles food pantries, “topping off shelves -- and then some,” said Rotarian Andy Stevens. “Staff at both locations were very appreciative.”
collaboration among the committee members, club members and others in the community, we provided our local food pantries (and Skaneateles Oureach) with MORE than they expected in their efforts to make the season bright for local families in need.
