Eating a good breakfast and supporting a local family
02/01/2010
In an overwhelming show of support, close to 300 people came out to participate in the Camden Lions' Pancake Breakfast benefiting the Vang family on January 16 at Papa's Restaurant & Deli. Vang, his pregnant wife Tao Thao, and their five children were returning from a funeral on December 5, 2009 when their minivan was hit head-on by a truck driven by an alleged drunk driver traveling in the wrong direction. The amount raised, close to $3,000, exceeded the Camden Lions' goal of $2,000. Donations are still being accepted and can be dropped off at Papa's Restaurant & Deli at 42nd and Thomas, or contact the Camden Lions at www.camdenlions.org. Photos by Duane Atter.
