Tuesday, Feb 20, is Shrove Tuesday. It is also National Pancakes Day and the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) will be celebrating by giving away free to each guest a short stack (3 pancakes). All they ask in return is that you consider a donation to the Children Miracle Network or other local charities. Details are here at: http://www.ihop.com/tellafriend.php.
