Support Local Heroes at Ardmore Rotary’s Pancake Breakfast, Enter to Win a 50” HDTV

Merion’s Fire Chief was the first to arrive at a house fire in Villanova this summer.  Arriving from a personal errand, he was without his protective gear. But with three people trapped inside, one a 102 year old, his training and his instincts took over.  With no oxygen mask, he braved the kitchen fire’s excessive heat and heavy smoke, and safely evacuated everyone. Suffering severe smoke inhalation in the process, he spent several weeks recovering in the hospital.


Gratefully, Chief Hayden is now better and the Rotary Club of Ardmore wants to make this year’s Pancake Breakfast an extra special opportunity to thank him and his fellow firefighters who serve us selflessly everyday. 


The Ardmore Rotary Club invites you to their Annual Pancake Breakfast 7:00 AM to Noon on Sunday, October 7, at the Merion Fire Company in Ardmore.  Tickets are $7.00.
