Volunteer Club Hosts Free Easter Egg Hunt
Samantha Aldridge, staff writer
The Volunteer Club met on March 6 at 12 p.m. in the main building to discuss the upcoming free Easter egg hunt at PVCC. All five attendees talked about ideas involving the upcoming egg hunt. They mentioned having face painting, egg races, and even raffles.
The club guarantees the event is free including concessions. The club spoke about various decorations and activities for children to participate in during the event. Ideas included Jenga, chalk, and board games for inside.
Eventually, they talked about promoting the event with fliers and a picture incorporating an Easter egg basket with Pouncer (PVCC’s mascot). Acting fast, I went to Admissions and Advising Center and asked about someone dressing up in the costume so we could quickly get the shot they needed. The staff then told me that I could dress up in the costume if I wanted to. So I did, and we got the picture for the flier.
The only way the event will be completely successful is with the help of volunteers from the community and students. The reason we need volunteers for this event is because of the labor involved with setting up and running the event. In the past, they have had over 100 children come to hunt for eggs or hang around the campus to do other activities. Having this many children requires supervision.
The Volunteer Club meets every other Wednesday. The attendees planned future endeavors involving the club. In the past, the club has featured movies only to have few people attended, so they mentioned promoting the egg hunt in advance to advertise it as soon as possible.
The club members wanted to expand attendance by putting up fliers and finding other avenues of promotion.
If anyone is interested in volunteering for the event contact Todd Platts tplatts@pvcc.edu.
