Central Cremation Center will again host their annual Veterans Breakfast on Wednesday, November 12th, at the Mt. Zion Convention Center. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m., and breakfast will be served starting at 9 a.m.. Now in its third year, the gathering has become a time for bringing local veterans and their guests together to share a meal and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Diamonds Family Restaurant is donating breakfast, and this year’s breakfast will also feature coffee and donuts from Big Hungry’s Daylight Donuts. The Maroa-Forsyth High School Honors Choir will perform patriotic songs as part of the morning, adding a special touch to the meal. The event is made possible through the generosity of sponsors like Prairie State Bank & Trust, Dale’s Southlake Pharmacy, and Colee’s Corner Drugs. Many other local businesses are helping to support the Veterans Breakfast as well, with sponsor tables set up for guests to visit, with door prizes donated as well.
Veterans planning to attend are asked to RSVP by calling 217-859-8100. Each veteran is welcome to bring a guest. For more details, contact Brett Zerfowski at Central Cremation Center at 217-859-8100 or email brettz@centralcremationcenter.com.
