Serving Breakfast at RYLA on July 2—five SARC members got up at the crack of dawn to serve breakfast to about 75 campers.It was great to see the kids 1) doing calisthenics at 7am! and 2) jamming to the music.Although some looked very tired from a possible late night before.The best thing was the polite manners these kids portrayed.Thank you to Amber, Allison, Sherrick, Linda and Lisa for your service!
