AUBURN – Auburn VFW Post Commander Thomas Trottier, also breakfast chairman, has announced the addition of “SOS” to the menu for Sunday breakfasts at the Post Home, 588 Minot Ave.

“SOS” is an old servicemen’s specialty, usually served every Sunday evening with cold cuts. It consists of hamburger mixed in a cream sauce and served over toast, which the service used to call a “shingle.”

The addition brings their menu to four breakfast specials: one egg, $3.50; two eggs, $4; SOS, $4; and the works, two of everything, $4.50.

The next breakfast will be from 8 to 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. Proceeds will benefit the Auburn Blue Christmas for needy families.

A door prize, a silver dollar from the 1800s, will be awarded at 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. The coins were donated by Marcel L. Roy, a longtime member of the Auburn VFW.

All breakfasts will be held on the first floor, which has been recently reconstructed with handicapped-accessible men’s and women’ rooms.

Breakfasts will be continued through April on the first and third Sundays of each month. March breakfasts will benefit the VFW’s Operation Uplink, a program that offers phone cards to overseas veterans and those in hospitals.

April breakfast will benefit the VFW’s National Home for Children in Eaton Rapids, Mich. The home offers a family-type atmosphere to the spouses and children of deceased veterans.

The local post was organized in October 1928 and consists of overseas veterans and the auxiliary.
