Saint Nick pulled double-duty on Saturday,
December 10th at The Arc of Livingston-Wyoming's
annual Breakfast with Santa, held at Geneseo
United Methodist Church. The festive family
event included two sessions: children 12 and
younger dined with Santa at 8:30 am, while older
kids and adults with disabilities spent time
with old Kris Kringle at 10:30 am. In total, 278
people attended the holiday breakfast.
Santa was assisted by 55 volunteer "elves" from
all walks of life, including Arc of
Livingston-Wyoming staff, Board members,
Foundation members, SUNY Geneseo students, Boy
Scouts, and other friends of The Arc. Also on
Santa's "Nice List" this year were suppliers
such as Burger King, C&R Foods, McDonald's, Tim
Hortons, Wegmans, and The Arc of
Livingston-Wyoming Foundation, which organized
the event and covered all other costs.
Admission was free, but attendees were
encouraged to donate a can or box of
non-perishable food. Hundreds of food items were
collected to benefit local families, in a show
of holiday spirit that surely made the
breakfast's guest of honor proud!
