Breakfast with Santa a Success!


This year, Saint Nick flew in from the North Pole for breakfast and photos courtesy of the Kiwanis Club of East Orange County’s Breakfast with Santa event on Saturday, December 1, 2012.  Over 1,400 pancakes were served at the club’s 15th annual holiday event held in Simon’s Waterford Lakes Town Center.

In addition to visiting with Santa and enjoying pancakes, kids and families enjoyed other fun activities including school chorus and dance performances, bounce houses, face painting, games, crafts, and more.  The breakfast is hosted each year by Kiwanians as well as student club members from East Orange County's 16 service leadership clubs. 100% of the money raised will go back into those service leadership clubs in the community.  Santa and the Kiwanis Club of East Orange County look forward to returning next year at the same location on the first Saturday of December, rain or shine.

Kiwanis of East Orange County thanks the following organizations and individuals for making this event possible:  Kiwanis of Greater Orlando-Winter Park; Orange County Public Schools, including Corner Lake Middle School, Odyssey Middle School, Union Park Middle School, Arbor Ridge School, East River High School; CKI at the University of Central Florida; Orange County Sheriff’s Department; DJ Dennis; Bounce Orlando; Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market; Ashley Furniture; Business Archives; Sweet!
