]]> 233 The Easter Bunny Visits Fox Ridge https://www.foxridgecooperative.com/2018/04/10/the-easter-bunny-visits-fox-ridge/ Tue, 10 Apr 2018 18:33:17 +0000 http://www.foxridgecooperative.com/?p=95 Read more]]> It was a cool Saturday in March when the Easter bunny came to visit the children of the Fox Ridge community.  What a visit it was!  Warm Bunny Hugs, Egg Hunts, and Candy were enjoyed by all.

The Annual Easter Egg Hunt was a success.  There were 36  kids total, 17 adults, and 8 volunteers.  Lots of candy, prizes, coloring pages, and an enthusiastic Easter Bunny!  Special thanks to Marilyn Thomas, Dee Thompson, John Koch, Todd Powell, Shirley Kirby, Holly Murphy, Edgar Lamkin, Nickie Roberts, Jamie Hester, and Austin.  You are all GREAT!  Also, special thanks to Rosie, Dov, and the Maintenance Staff that created the great Arbor backdrop for pictures.  It worked out beautifully.

This is what community is all about.  The comradery shown by the community, in this case for the enjoyment of the children speaks volumes as to the quality of community in which we either live or work in.

Thank you, LAS
