Dexter, Missouri - Pancakes and waffle breakfasts are a big part of the Lion's Club culture and tradition.  The Dexter Lions Club held their annual Waffle Day at the Sacred Heart Fellowship Hall today with many area residents coming out to take part in the event. 

Club members began to arrive as early as 4:00 AM to begin preparations for their 6:00 AM crowd.  The breakfast ran until 10:00 AM this morning and provided waffles, sausage, coffee and milk for only $5.00.

Brett Miller, the Lions Club President for 2015 shared, this is "another successful waffle day on the books.  A special thanks to all the support from the community and the men of Dexter Lions Club for making it happen."

Well over 250 members of the community came out on this rainy Saturday to enjoy the breakfast.  Many families and friends made it their morning get together to start their weekend.

The Dexter Lions Club is a fun filled civic organization that quietly makes a difference in the community of Dexter.  Their members are your everyday community minded guys ....

"We are very involved in the community", noted President Miller.   "We promote giving the gift of sight by providing eye exams, lenses and frames to those in need throughout the Dexter area."

You can help the Dexter Lions Club by donating your old eye glass frames to this program.  Dexter Family Eye is a local drop off location for your old frames, or contact one of the club members.

"We also donate to various veterans groups, support our local schools with donations to the goodwill games, Missouri Boys and Girls State, Project Prom, and many other causes that enrich the youth within our community", added Miller. 

You will also want to mark your calendar for the July 25th as the Lions Club will be hosting its annual golf tournament at Hidden Trails Country Club.  And of course, you will always find members involved with the Stoddard County Fair cooking up the fair favorites, funnel cakes. 

"It's an honor to serve with great men and give back to a great community", noted Miller.
