Members of the YJB Chapter GF of the National TTT Society (now Camping4Girls) made and served omelets with muffins and drinks on Saturday morning during the Yale Fourth of July celebration. More than 265 omelets were served in 2.5 hours. Proceeds from the breakfast allow for the purchase of supplies for two Panorama Elementary fourth-grade girls to the Des Moines Y-camp in Boone in August. The YJB chapter has been sponsoring girls for camp since 1984. Members raise funds to provide everything the campers need to experience a week in the outdoors. In addition to camp fees and transportation, the organization provides clothes, shoes, camping gear, toiletries and more.
Kaitlyn Dahl, Carla Hilgenberg, Rose Kastner, Kyla Nicholas and other members of the YJB Chapter of Camping4Girls National TTT Society prepare the omelets at the annual breakfast during the Yale Fourth of July celebration. Lana Laabs heads up one of eight omelet stations that were in operation on Saturday to serve a large crowd at the Yale Community Center. Muffins and drinks were also part of the menu. Pat Young, Camping4Girls president, and LeeAnn Pittman, breakfast organizer, were making omelets and smiles at the fundraiser for Camping4Girls. Luann Waldo is all business as she prepares the “fixings” for the made-to-order omelets. Mardene Russell, Janet Winter, Moe Russell and Gary Winter enjoy their breakfast. Betty Cooper pauses for a moment at the omelet breakfast during her many duties coordinating the Yale Fourth of July celebration.
