This past Saturday, The Tamarkin Company held their first All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Breakfast.  The event was fun and successful and they look forward to having more events like this in the future. 160 people, including 39 team members, attended the event and raised $600 for the United Way!

As a way to give back to both The Tamarkin Company and to the United Way and the community, the Boy Scouts offered their equipment and time on Saturday.  Several scouts and their parents helped with the set-up, cooking, and clean-up for the event.  Council Leader is Helen Touville, who has worked at Tamarkin for over 17 years and her husband, Jim is the Assistant Scout Master.  The Tamarkin Company has assisted the Boy Scouts with various events throughout the years.
