In the picture, Jennifer Beal, Christy Davis and Kathy Doty. Christy spent time with the girls and getting them familiar with the project. They will do a great job.
Saturday, March 28th the club and friends got together at the School Administration building to stuff the eggs for the Annual Hunt to be held on April 4th. We had a wonderful group of almost 50+ people. As this is the last year that Chris Davis will be chairing this and the last year John will play the Easter Bunny, the Davis' enjoyed seeing so many of the members with their families come in to help. We had the most if not all of the Jr Optimist members, we had the school principals who came and helped, and Stephanie from the Post Office, her son has come for about the 3rd year to help out. We had a few kids who came to get hours done and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We stuffed eggs until we ran out of candy. We stuffed over 9,000 eggs which is a little down from last year but will be plenty for what we need. Naturally we keep some left for those who come in just a few minutes late. We have 6 baskets to give out with the gold and silver egg winners. The donations are from the club, Kathy Doty, Christy Davis, Sonic, Grain Valley Community Center and Lunar Bowl. The winners will enjoy their basket. Next year Kathy Doty and Jennifer Beal will work as a team to take the event and continue to do the service to the community. John and I have enjoyed this event and this year will be sporting a new outfit, the bunny has been upgraded. When asked if he would like to pass it to some one else this year, his answer was, let me finish my last task in Grain Valley before we leave. I do enjoy this event and will be sorry to leave but I will continue to do the blog from California and only need the data and pictures until I pass the baton to someone else. A great thanks to all of those who came and helped and hope to see you Saturday.

Dr. Chris Small, Big boss to the Grain Valley schools, smart man, never met anyone like him but he seemed a little puzzled by this stuffing of an egg? I think he was studying it before he decided to stuff it.
