Holiday cheer on deck at Sailors Dinner This past weekend, 250 sailors from the Naval Station Great Lakes had an opportunity to enjoy an extravagant holiday meal, along with entrainment, and plenty of community cheer. The annual Antioch Community Sailors Dinner was held on the evening of Dec. 11, at the Antioch VFW. The dinner was organized by over 80 community volunteers. Last year’s event was canceled because of COVID, so this year, the volunteers from the Antioch community worked to make sure the event could be held. For the dinner to happen, the group had to follow strict COVID protocols that were required by the Navy. The volunteers worked to plan the event, arrange transportation for the sailors, serve the meals, and provide tableside service. Most importantly, the volunteers spent the evening talking, exchanging stories, and laughing with the sailors. The sailors were treated to a homestyle holiday meal, music by several local musicians, Christmas carols by the Westosha Sweet Adelines Choral Group, trivia games, and a speech about “the honor of
one’s service to their country.” One of the event organizers, Village of Antioch Trustee Scott Pierce, said the evening was a big success. “The sailors were thrilled to have a special visit from Santa Claus,” Pierce said. “They lined up for pictures with Santa to share with their families and friends. The sailors also took the opportunity to tell Santa their Christmas wishes, which included opportunities for advancement and time with their families. It was a great evening for all!” In addition to the dozens of volunteers, local businesses stepped forward to help. The Raymond Auto Group (Raymond Chevrolet/ Kia) provided motor coaches to transport the sailors to and from Naval Station Great Lakes in North Chicago. Piggly Wiggly and Lovin’ Oven provided food for the meals. Community organizations including the VFW and Auxiliary, American Legion and Auxiliary, Antioch Junior Women’s Club, Antioch Lions, 885 Club, The Moose, the Yost Family, Village of Antioch Trustee Mary Dominiak, and many others, all financially contributed to the evening.
