Santa and family stop for pancakes at Dayton breakfast
Santa and Mrs. Klaus have a heart to heart chat during the Dayton Breakfast with Santa Saturday, Dec. 18. Healthy Communities Coalition and Kiwanis of Dayton Township hosted a pancake breakfast with Santa, Mrs. Klaus and elf helpers at the Dayton Community Center.
Hundreds of volunteers from local schools, businesses, the public library, nonprofits and clubs have come together to make sure all their neighbors have a Merry Christmas in the Dayton community, which has been hit so hard by the economic downturn with unemployment is nearly 19 percent. Dozens of groups worked together to collect monetary donations, toys, senior citizen gifts, firewood, coats and hats, and emergency food packages that are being distributed this month.
