Seven years of
Community Breakfasts put on by the Fort Hill Post #376 American Legion,
at Oxford, New York. Breakfast is served almost every Sunday
from 8-10:30am.
One week's breakfast netted a
check for over $1,300, given to the American
Red Cross for the "Twin Towers Relief
Fund.
The Post sponsors a troop of Boy
Scouts and a troop of Cub Scouts, both of whom
have attained District honors. These Scout Troops
also donate time at the breakfasts serving tables. Funds attained
by these Community Breakfasts are also used for
Community Christmas parties, Thanksgiving
baskets, and donations to the Volunteer Services of
the New York State Veteran's Home at Oxford.
