West Lafayette Lions Club hosts monthly breakfast
By Marianne Austin For The Beacon
The West Lafayette Lions Club All You Can Eat Pancake Breakfast is more than just pancakes , Club President Dan Hardesty said .

We have been doing this for a number of years at the same location , the West Lafayette United Methodist Church . We start at 7:30 in the morning . We enjoy everyone coming out , and it is $ 10 for all you can eat , no limit . We do it the first Saturday of every month from November until April . There are signs out so people can see them and know when we are having

West Lafayette Homecoming . Everyone has fun doing that .”
