DECKING THE HALLS
A crowd of about 150 people enjoyed a free pancake and sausage breakfast in Simcoe on December 7th. The Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise decked the halls with boughs of holly as laughter, music, and excitement echoed out into the street. Through the eyes of animated children, Santa and Mrs. Claus were excitedly greeted. Children were thrilled to enjoy a delicious family breakfast and then meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. Children, sometimes shyly, told Santa exactly what was wanted on Christmas morning, since all of them have been very, very good throughout the year. Each family was given an opportunity to have a picture with Santa at no cost. What a fantastic community service event to usher in the excitement of the Christmas season. This annual event was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise and supported by Simcoe McDonalds and the CAMHS Photo Club. Kristina Kett, a Rotarian attended the breakfast with her 9-year-old daughter Geneva, her 12-year-old daughter Allegra and Mac Campbell. Kett stated that she and her family attended because, “We are so happy to support a wonderful community event such as this, especially during the holiday season. The Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise has done a great job organizing this free event for the community.” Her 9-year-old daughter, Geneva stated “I am so excited about Christmas and I really loved the pancakes.”
