Pancake Breakfast

                The next morning, after the mixer, I had to get up and go to Cesar Chavez Middle School for the San Diego Lions Clubs’ annual pancake breakfast. I was asked to come and support them as well as sell raffle tickets, help cook, and be an MC for their games and raffle drawings. It was really fun experience, being able to ask people to buy raffle tickets was something that I had never done before. My friend Angelica, the girl who had asked me to come, was helping me set up numbers on the floor for the two cakewalks we were having. Because their goal was to have 75 people there, Angelica and I were sent out halfway through the breakfast to go and try and recruit people from the local soccer field to come on over and get some breakfast. In my high heels boots, it was something of a difficult situation to walk around a soggy, wet, soccer field in fabric shoes, but I was able to pass enough fliers around to people, so that we got about 10-15 more visitors. With the music, cakewalks and vendors, it was really fun to do, and seeing the smiles on the children’s faces when I went and presented them with their gifts. Working with people is so important because it gives you a satisfaction that you can’t get from anywhere else. It is important as queen to serve others, because that is your role in the community.
