Dear Editor,

The Van Buren County Master Gardeners appreciate the support for the recent Pancake Supper held as a fundraiser, invited by the FFB Lions Club. It was a successful event for our organization because of the community support from those purchasing tickets and attending. We appreciate so much the Lions Club for sponsoring us and helping us with this event, as well as those who attended. They made this festive event fun and beneficial to the Master Gardeners. Thank you for the community support and the Lions Club sponsorship.
