The Chester Lions Club invites children from the community to enjoy an afternoon full of magic and merriment at its annual Lunch with Santa on Sat., Dec. 3. Two seatings at 11:30 a.m. & 1:30 p.m. are offered. This year’s event will be held at the Community Presbyterian Church in Chester.

Children will be treated to a hot dog lunch, with chips, cookies and drinks. After that, there will be a magic show followed by the main attraction — pictures with Santa and his elves. Pictures will be taken and distributed by the Chester Lions Club.

This event is provided free for children ages 10 and under. The Lions Club asks that each child bring a nonperishable food item to be donated to the Chester Food Pantry and Operation Jersey Cares. Pre-registration is required, as seating is limited. For further information, contact us at chesterlionsclub@gmail.com or visit at chesterlionsclubnj.com.
