But if it just so happens to be, this upcoming breakfast would be a great start. That's right! Tuesday, January 6, Twenty-fifteen, we have our PerkUp! Morning Networking at Keys starting at 7:30am. Visualize it now: pancakes the "size of manhole covers", eggs the size of 1/12th a carton, and bacon the size of bacon. All of this can be yours for your first meal on the first Tuesday of the new year.
