I would like to thank the 

Spirt of Springfield for the opportunity to assist with 

this year's World's Largest Pancake Breakfast. Working with Judy, Amy, Nicole, Peter and the rest of the group was a great experience. Our company had recently moved into the city of Springfield 

and I was looking for an opportunity to give back to the community.

When I researched the Spirit of Springfield and the pancake breakfast, I knew that was our calling. I approached the owners Anthony Gleason II and Dave Johndrow and introduced the idea of volunteering for the breakfast. Tony and Dave loved the idea, so at that point I reached out to The Spirit of Springfield looking to see what we could do to assist. 

Our company was tasked with moving and delivering the batter, assisted with table and chair set up and were responsible for the re-stocking of the eating and beverage stations with paper products, bacon, juice, etc. We used a team of myself and about 18 of our staff members. We arrived at 4 am that Saturday morning and had a blast contributing to the success of the Spirit of Springfield's World's Largest Pancake Breakfast. Our staff loved it and most of their families stopped by for breakfast and to say hello to their mom or dad who were volunteering. 

I look forward to being part of this event for years to come and am glad that Gleason Johndrow Landscaping was able to help out in a meaningful manner. 

Thank you Springfield.
