Pancakes and planes proved to be the winning
combination for the St. Cloud Composite
Squadron’s annual fundraiser.
Squadron members served 1,300 breakfasts
of pancakes and sausage, and raised $2,100 for
squadron activities during the Sunday, June 28
event held at the St. Cloud Airport.
“Our crew of seniors and cadets came early,
worked hard, and stayed late; the result was
another very successful breakfast,” said Lt. Col.
Jim Schlick, the event’s organizer.
“Between the Army National Guard’s CH-47
Chinook helicopter, the LifeLink helicopter,
several experimental aircraft, and our own CAP
glass-cockpit 182 with the avionics power on, our
C/SrA Michael Norton serves up breakfast to one of the
1,300 people who attended the St. Cloud Composite
Squadron’s annual fly-in breakfast on June 28.
airport guests had quite a bit to look at.”
Schlick also thanked the St. Cloud Times,
Shopping News, WJON Radio, KNSI Radio,
and Charter Communications for their generous
promotion of the event.
Schlick said the squadron is already looking
forward to next year’s event.
“Since it seemed that everyone had fun,
I told ‘Chris Cakes’ (food vendor) to put us
on their schedule for next June 27. Mark your
calendar now!”
