Editor’s note: As was indicated in a previous Banner article, beginning July 30, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) are being provided by a city of Whitewater department. The pancake breakfast is sponsored by WFD, Inc. (WFD), the new name for the nonprofit organization that capably responded to the city and surrounding townships’ fire and EMS calls for 150 years. WFD continues to exist as a separate not-for-profit entity focusing primarily on fundraising and fellowship activities.
