What it is…
The Contemporary Women of North County's Breakfast with Santa has quite a
history. Over twenty five years ago, the San Marcos Junior Women's Club joined
forces with the San Marcos Kiwanis to host a pancake breakfast at the "Barn" in
San Marcos. Proceeds benefited local youth activities.
By 1990, the Pancake Breakfast moved to Palomar College with Juniors teaming up
with the college to raise funds for college scholarships. Breakfast was served
cafeteria style. Santa spent special time with each child and his elves were
diligent in taking down special requests for Christmas. Mom had time to do a
little shopping at the Junior Holiday Boutique and San Marcos families enjoyed a
great morning.
In 1995, the Escondido Junior Women's Club and San Marcos Juniors joined forces
and the pancake breakfast became part of the City of San Marcos' "Santa's
Village."
Today, CWONC members continue their role in the City of San Marcos' holiday
"kick off." The first week of December includes a tree lighting, a craft fair,
children's activity booths, CWONC's Breakfast with Santa, and a Parade down
Mission Avenue.
