Geneva Lions Club hosts 14th annual Pancake Breakfast with Santa

The Geneva Lions Club invites the community to celebrate the holiday season during its 14th annual Pancake Breakfast with Santa from 7:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at Geneva High School, 416 McKinley Ave.

Participants will experience live music, photo opportunity with Santa, kids craft table, pancake creation station, and more, all included with the purchase of a ticket.

“The Pancake Breakfast with Santa is one of the most joyful traditions our Lions Club hosts each year,” said Elliott Bortner, president of the Geneva Lions Club. “It’s a magical morning filled delicious pancakes and a chance for kids to meet Santa himself.

“Best of all, every smile and stack of pancakes helps support the club’s eyeglass program,” Bortner said. “We’re proud to bring families together for fun while raising funds for a great cause.”

Bortner adds that this year, door prizes will be awarded which also support the eyeglass program. Tickets are $10 for ages 13 or older and $8 for kids, age 4 to 12; Kids, age 3 or younger, eat free. They can be purchased on the Geneva Lions Club website at genevalionsclub.org/breakfast.
