fact: a short stack of pancakes provokes upturned crinkles on both corners of one's mouth, identified as what's most commonly known as a smile.

Okay, while this theory may not exactly be scientifically proven, pancakes are fun and pleasing, even to the most discriminating of tummies.

Ordered Steps Productions & Mimes of Miracles (Words of Faith MBC) are teaming together to serve up an all you can eat pancake breakfast fundraiser at Applebee's: 810 S. Cockrell Road, Duncanville. The 'cakes fly off the griddle June 7, 2008 (8-10 am). Tickets are a mere $5 for a single meat selection, and all the pancakes & drinks to your appetite's content!

Ordered Steps Productions & Mimes of Miracles have collaborated to bring the production "UpLoaded: How Safe is Your Child?" to area youth around the metroplex. With a strong emphasis on youth education in arts, the groups are raising much needed funds to support the production, as well as the youth mentoring programs they have established. Please come support the groups as they travel the metroplex with their unique styles, educating & dazzling audiences of all ages.

For anyone watching your figure (so it doesn't watch you), don't feel left out - donations are always accepted. All youth groups, ministries & arts lovers are welcome!

For tickets or more information call: 469.449.9312. Don't forget - pancakes are the new banana splits. Ok...we made that up too, but come support anyway. See you there!
