06.01.2022 How amazing is this!

06.01.2022 Ok Futuring Orange Family, we need your help! Together with ECCO, we are hosting a COMMUNITY EASTER EGG HUNT at Bloomfield Golf Course this Saturday, 10am. Th...is is being provided for the community, by the community, so it relies on donations of Easter Eggs. Scoop Wholefoods is kindly providing a collection box in their shop (BTW, they also have lots of delicious chocolate Easter treats.) If we get enough donations in ONE DAY (tomorrow, Thursday 1 April) we can go ahead. If not, we'll need to cancel. But we are SURE Orange will be generous! So we need you to: 1. Purchase Easter eggs 2. Drop them to Scoop Wholefoods 3. Offer to help "hide" the eggs amongst trees on Saturday at 9.30am. If you'd like to help, email: [email protected] or [email protected] 4. Bring the children in your life on Sataurday at 10am, for an Easter Egg hunt, then stay for a while afterwards to walk, run, play and relax among the beautiful trees on the old golf course/new parkland! You might particularly consider any children who might be unlikely to receive Easter treats this year. But if you can only do one thing, please make that a donation of the eggs, as we need enough to run. THANK YOU!!! Love from Futuring Orange and ECCO xooxox
