Our annual Easter Egg Hunt is right around the corner! If you wish to donate plastic eggs — preferably filled with a piece of wrapped candy — for the Mentelle Easter Egg Hunt on April 16, please bring them to the porch of 29 Mentelle Park. Donations will be accepted this weekend and all next week, but no later than Friday, April 15. We would love to have at least 400 eggs to make this a fun and memorable event for our neighborhood’s children.
The hunt will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16, on the Mentelle Park medians near Cramer Avenue. There will be two hunts — one for little kids through age 4 and one for bigger kids between ages 5-10. Bigger kids will hunt on the median closest to Cramer and the little ones will hunt on the second median.
No small children in your household? No problem! We hope that all Mentelle Neighborhood residents will come out to socialize with your neighbors and celebrate the beginning of spring. Complimentary coffee will be available courtesy of Nate’s Coffee as well as delicious donuts from Spalding’s Bakery. We will also have temporary tattoos for both the kids and those just young at heart.
We hope to see all Mentelle Neighborhood residents there!
We’ll meet from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13, at the Children’s Advocacy Center, 162 North Ashland Avenue in the conference room in the back (where we had our last MNA annual meeting).
