Veterans Affairs of Dawson County will be offering a pancake breakfast on Saturday.

The event will be held from 8-10 a.m. March 17 at the Community and Southern Bank conference room in downtown Dawsonville.

The breakfast, which offers all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage for $5, is raising money to support the group's Memorial Day and Veteran's Day celebrations.

"[Veterans Affairs] is dedicated to promoting public support and interest in the military service of veterans during peacetime or time of war," said Vice-President Don Brown.

In past years, Veteran Affairs has asked for donations to support the two celebrations, but this year they are trying to raise funds through public fundraisers.

"It encourages our veterans when the public attends events like the pancake breakfast," said Veterans Affairs President Pam Hamalainen.

Breakfast tickets can be purchased at the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce or from any Veterans Affairs member.

"We are justly proud of our efforts and hope the Dawson County community can support us at the pancake breakfast," Brown said.
