This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Guardian Friends of Lewis County will be hosting a flap jack breakfast at the Chehalis Applebee’s. Breakfast includes 2 pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 sausages, scrambled eggs, and coffee, OJ or apple juice.
For each ticket you purchase, you will receive a raffle ticket to be entered into a drawing to win a $350 gift certificate for the Great Wolf Lodge that was donated for this event.
The proceeds go to help local foster children in Lewis County. Guardian Friends helps meet the needs that the State does not cover. These needs include specialized therapy, tutoring, sports fees, driver’s education fees, summer camp fees, clothing, bedding and so much more.
In order for the event to take place, Applebee’s requires a minimum of 100 tickets to be sold. Buy your tickets now and help support local children in foster care!
