Saturday,
more than 400 parents, grandparents and children flooded the Windham Veteran’s
Center to eat pancakes and sausages while Santa sat nearby greeting children.
“We
do it because the kids enjoy it,” said Lions Club president Gene Tanguay.
Breakfast with Santa has been a yearly event for the past 10 to 12 years. “All
money donated stays within the community,” he told the crowd.
The
Lions Club has been saving for a new $8,000 eye screening machine, which will
help make the tests more accurate.
