Palatine American Legion holds Santa Breakfast

The Sons of the American Legion (S.A.L.) are holding a special Holiday pancake breakfast with Santa which is open to the public on Saturday, December 11th from 8:00 AM until 11:30 AM at the American Legion Hall 122 West Palatine Road in Palatine to raise funds for Legion Family Charities.

“We are celebrating the Holidays at this pancake breakfast,” said John Nemanich, Commander of the S.A.L. “We will be holding our breakfast upstairs in our hall. Santa will be joining us from 8:00 AM until 11:30 AM. Children will be able to tell Santa what they want for Christmas and get a picture with Santa.”

The S.A.L. will be serving “all you can eat” pancakes and French toast. With the pancakes and French toast, the S.A.L. will serve sausage, ham, scrambled eggs, fruit, orange juice, coffee and milk. The breakfast costs $11.00 for adults and $5.00 for children 3 years and older. The Legion will be accepting donations for the Palatine Township Food Pantry. For a donation of a can or dry good, an individual will receive a dollar off their breakfast.

“The American Legion is also creating a memorial and allowing individuals to honor their relatives for their service in the military or family members with a commemorative brick engraved with their name and, if applicable, details of their service,” said Nemanich. “The bricks will be part of a perpetual display with our newly renovated cannon. You can see additional details or purchase a brick at alpost690.us.”

The Sons of the American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within the American Legion. The S.A.L. is made up of boys and men of all ages whose parents or grandparent served in the United States military and became eligible for membership in the American Legion. There are currently 300,000 members of the S.A.L. in this country and abroad.
