PHILIPSBURG:--- The Philipsburg Jubilee Library (PJL) in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of St. Maarten Sunrise will be hosting their annual Easter Egg Hunt for children ages 4-10 year old at a cost of $5 at the Library on Saturday, April 12, from 10:00am-1:00pm.
Children attending this event will be engaged in fun activities such as: face painting, storytelling, and a grand Easter egg hunt, where hundreds of eggs will be hidden on the grounds of the library. There will be special prizes awarded to the children who find the most eggs. Easter themed face painting will be done from 10:00am-11:00am.
Literacy is one of the core components of both the Library and Rotaract's projects. It is with these merged goals in mind, that an interactive puppet show by the University of St. Martin's (USM) students will be held, from 11:30am – 12:00pm.
To participate in this event, please register at the Library or through the Rotaract members from Tuesday, April 8 through Friday, April 11. Space is limited so children are urged to register as early as possible to secure their spot.
Children taking part in this event will be provided with refreshments and a special "goody" bag, along with all the Easter eggs they have collected. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to this fun-filled family event.
All proceeds for this event will be used to fund Library activities and Rotaract community outreach projects.
Sponsorship for this event was generously provided by Mark Mingo, Hector Peters, Roger Lawrence, Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunrise, Rotary Club of St. Maarten – Mid Isle, Funtopia, Akeem Adams, and the students of USM.
For more information on this event please call the library at 542-2970 or contact the members of the Rotatact Club.
