Palatine Lions to Sponsor Easter Egg Hunt

The Palatine Lions Club, in conjunction with Salt Creek Park District, will be sponsoring Easter Egg Hunts at the Salt Creek Park District Parks of Grealish (formerly Winston), South, and Rose. The “Hunts” will take place on Saturday April 11, 2009 beginning at Grealish (Winston) Park at 9:00am, South Park at 10:00am, and Rose Park at 11:00am. (Your cooperation in attending only one event will be appreciated.)

The Lions members will be collecting used eyeglasses, hearing aids, cellular phones, keys, and ink jet cartridges for recycling. Please refer to the “Recycling” page on this web site for further details about this program.

Palatine Lions Club President Tom Peckham stated, “This is now the eighth year the Palatine Lions Club has sponsored this Easter Egg Hunt for the Salt Creek Park District. We feel they do a fine job and are glad to be a part of the event.”

The Palatine Lions Club was founded in 1925 and is part of Lions International, the world’s largest service organization, with worldwide membership in excess of 1.3 million members. The Palatine Lions make numerous contributions to the community, but their main focus is providing eye exams and eyeglasses to underprivileged children in the local school districts.
