EASTER BUNNY HELPERS
|
At our March 4th meeting Head Easter Bunny Helper Donna observed her
assistant “EBH” (Easter Bunny Helper) try to stuff that big book mark worm in
the little plastic egg.
Ralph the “Red Nosed” I mean “Red Shirted” “EBH”, wasn’t
letting that stubborn plastic worm get him down.
After that week of relaxing on the beach in Hawaii
he knew the job of assistant “EBH” was going to be tough. But nothing was going
to wipe that smile off his face.

Head “EBH” Donna knew it wasn’t going to be easy. So she called in the cavalry.
She enlisted the aide of the Kiwanis club members, Key Club members and her
family to stuff 2 to 3 trinkets or candy in 2000 plastic eggs.
Key Club members Amy Gonzo, Kate Ruth and Joe Ruth stuff eggs while Joe wonders if
assistant “EBH “Ralph the Red … “ isn’t
having a little too much fun sitting at that table by himself.

|
It looks like Barb is imagining
how much fun it would be to gather these eggs and find the neat little prizes.
Maybe the thrill of being an “EBH” put that smile on her face.
Now Weldon, Lowell and
Elmer seem to be taking the responsibility of being an “EBH” very seriously.
Guys, can’t you at least pretend to be having fun. The head “EBH” said it would be fun so let it
show.

|
It’s a good thing the rest of
the “EBHs” didn’t have too much fun. Someone had to do the work.
The Port Washington Business Improvement
District organizes the event with the help of the Port Kiwanis club. In
addition to the egg hunt there will be an Easter Bonnet contest. The event will
be held upstairs in the closed Lueptow’s Furniture store starting at 10am. With Easter being so early this
year it will be to cold and messy to have the hunt in the park.

CLUB NEWS (From the TJ news Letter)
A SPRING SHOWER Sponsored by Builders Club: Beginning MARCH 12th thru Wednesday, March 19th we want to see a downpour of kindness showered on our school. We are looking for Random Acts of Kindness, if you receive or give a random act of kindness to someone we want you to fill out a form and drop it off in the office. Your teachers will have more information in the coming days, and you will also be able to see some examples of what others are doing on the display board in the hall as we collect the raindrops. There will be prizes sprinkled upon random act participants who have earned a raindrop (the form), on Wednesday, March 19th. This is a great opportunity to recognize people who are kind to you everyday. So - get in the Random Acts of Kindness Spirit! Do something nice for somebody. Help Builders Club turn our Spring Shower into an absolute DOWNPOUR of Kindness during the next week.
Meeting of Tuesday March 11th:
18 Kiwanians and our speaker,
Steve Crook, enjoyed dinner of a green spring
salad, chicken cordon bleu, rice and steamed vegetables, plus a fine
dessert of chocolate silk pie. Excellent food, thank you Nisleits.

for the day: “Don’t confuse motion with action” by Ernest Hemmingway.
Roger won the pot of $11.00
Good news from Jim, Liz,

We discussed the WOYC; we are
to expect 50-75 kids per night, ages 3-8, all nights
