16. Don Maes discussed the possibility of using a different source of eggs for the
pancake breakfasts. The eggs are sometimes referred to as “bagged eggs” used
frequently by campers. They are a lot less work for those preparing the eggs and
cleanup afterwards. The eggs were provided as part of the food after this meeting
as a means of sampling the eggs. The appearance was much better than what
has been used in the past. It was noted that there was no difference in taste or
texture. Those in attendance who sampled the eggs approved the change to use
these eggs at the pancake breakfasts.
