"We are celebrating the holidays at this pancake breakfast," said Mike Rocha, commander of the S.A.L. "We will be holding our breakfast upstairs in our hall. Santa will be joining us from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. 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, bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit, orange juice, coffee and milk. The breakfast costs $11 for adults, $6 for veterans and for children, ages 5-10. Children ages 4 and younger are free.
