Welcome, Les Dames New York Class of 2026! ✨

We had a memorable evening celebrating our newest members and are thrilled to officially welcome this exceptional group of women into our organization, alongside our returning Dames.

As we celebrate LDNY’s 50th anniversary, the evening also offered a meaningful opportunity to honor the women who have helped shape our organization throughout its history. Past presidents of LDNY were recognized for their leadership, dedication and lasting impact on our community.

A heartfelt thank you to Dames May Matta-Aliah, Vanessa Trost, Alex Ivanac, Jelena Kero and Michael-Ann Rowe, as well as our Membership Committee, Induction Committee, volunteers, sponsors and all the Dames who generously contributed to our raffle giveaway.

In honor of National Pancake Day on September 26 (yes, there are other pancake days, just more opportunities to celebrate!), it was only necessary to serve up an encore with this episode!

In this episode of @sprungonfood, @thepancakeprincess joins to discuss the history of pancakes. The episode traces pancake history from early agriculture and prehistoric grain batters (including evidence from Ötzi the Iceman) to written mentions in ancient Greece and Roman recipes, then to Shrove Tuesday “Pancake Day” and England’s Olney pancake race tradition. It follows the evolution into fluffy American pancakes through chemical leavening, pearl ash, saleratus, and commercial baking powder.

The episode also covers pancake mix commercialization, diner culture and IHOP, pop-culture references, records, viral trends, and recipe recommendations including Golden Diner’s NYT version.

Hi! I’m Semla Von Puffer, Semla for short, SVP if you’re nasty. I was adopted today by my parent @iamsprung, who was fostering me with @everylastonerescue for almost 3 weeks before making it official (we’re slow burners, it’s meant to be).

I’ve had a lot of change in my little 3-6 year life (my age is subject to another vet visit, we’ll maybe figure it out eventually...maybe?), so I’m excited for my forever home.

I’m a toy poodle rescue, which might be the most amazing and insane sentence ever. I’ve been showing a lot of improvements, and will get more brave and strong every day.

I hope you’ll join me as I show off my personality, cuteness, floofness, and tricks (stay tuned there will be a video where I show them off)! Image of a tan toy poodle sitting on a black couch with very fluffy hair a very small tiny dog
