PTA benefit hits new high mark

The 36th annual Rancho Round-up Pancake Breakfast, held June 3 and sponsored by the Rancho Shopping Center Merchant's Association, earned $14,635 for seven local elementary schools. The money was raised from ticket sales that offered more than $2,000 in merchandise prizes donated by Rancho merchants.

Chairman of the event, Dave Leary of Murphy's Pizza and Rancho Video, presented the donation to Parent-Teachers Association representatives of Almond, Bullis, Loyola, Montclaire, Oak, Santa Rita and Springer schools.

Most of this year's income will be devoted to software and other high-tech supplies needed by the schools, according to Maggie Rancatore and Ann Bjorklund, co-chairs of the PTA Council.

More than 3,000 breakfasts were served, according to Leary. He went on to report that this year's income to the schools was about $2,000 higher than last year's record donation. Much of this increase is due to the generosity of Andronico's Markets, which provided the supplies for the breakfast and will replace Rancho Market this fall.
