Mesa City Councilman Dennis Kavanaugh is hosting a pancake breakfast and holiday toy drive Dec. 10. Residents who wish to make a donation are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys. The gifts will be delivered Dec. 12 to patients at Cardon Children's Medical Center, where a fire truck and Santa will make an appearance.

In 2002, two young girls and their parents filed a federal class-action law suit against the McDonalds Corporation.

Mesa City Councilman Dennis Kavanaugh will host a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday at the Rhodes Junior High School Aquatic Center, 1869 S. Longmore. The free event is open to residents of Council District 3.
