The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 136 hosted its first “Pancakes with Santa” in December. We had a great turn-out, as 25 children attended, who had pancakes and their picture taken with Santa. They received goodie bags along with an ornament to color and take home. We gave away two 7-inch tablets to two children.
We would like to thank everyone that came and joined in the festivities. Thank you for your support during this difficult time we can’t wait to see you next year!
