Our annual Easter egg hunt will take place at SHRC, starting at 8:30am with coffee, juice, and doughnuts. The kids are divided into age groups and egg hunts are time-staggered so that parents can enjoy all their children having fun. We have 4 age groups: 3 & under, 4-5 year olds, 6-7 year olds, and 8 & up. Each group has their own area to hunt.
This event does not have a rain/snow date, so it will be held regardless of the weather. We suggest that kids wear play clothes and shoes that can get dirty. Don't forget a basket or bucket for collecting eggs and a camera for pictures with the Easter Bunny.
Spring Work Day
Please join us for the annual ritual of the Spring Work Day! We will meet at the pool on the morning of Saturday, April 28th, starting at 8:30 AM and REFRESHMENTS will be served! Meet the other members and enjoy fellowship with your friends and neighbors while getting the pool ready for another summer of fun. We encourage you to bring your children as an educational experience, a healthy dose of volunteerism, and to prove the old saying that many hands make light work! Let’s set a record for attendance this year!!!
There are plenty of tasks that need to be done, including cleaning, setting out deck furniture, repairs, painting, landscaping, etc. Any and all skills are needed and welcomed. Old clothes that can take getting dirt, paint, or bleach on them is a necessity. If you have any ideas about projects that you have wanted to see done in the past, please do not hesitate to email Jeff Danes at Facilities@ScottishHills.org and we will either add them to the work day list or add them to our Long Range Facility Plan.
Remember, members who participate in workday are entered in the annual raffle for a free annual membership drawn at the Annual Members Meeting. Mark your calendars now and come help get the pool ready for another great season. Whatever amount of time you can offer will be greatly appreciated and will make a difference!
