Your child would love waking up Easter morning to a yard full of stuffed eggs! Members of the GFWC/Iowa Solon Women’s Club have organized an “Egg my Yard” fundraiser. Profits will go toward the installation of new dugouts at the ball fields in the Solon Recreation Park. The dug outs shelter the kids from rain, sun, and wind.
Let our bunnies do the work for you! Eggs will be stuffed with individually wrapped candy unless otherwise requested. Toys are available for those children (age 3 and older recommended) that might have food allergies. You can choose to pick up a box of stuffed eggs from the Solon Library, Saturday, March 23, 9:00-10:30 a.m., or to have the eggs delivered to your yard after 8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 30. Deliveries will be completed before daylight. Delivery is available in the Solon and Shueyville areas along with associated housing developments. We have added Ely this year but are limiting delivery to ten Ely families.
Deadline to sign up for pick up or delivery is Friday, March 22.
This year to add additional excitement, a golden egg with an extra special prize is being added to each batch. In addition, random “extra fancy” eggs have been added.
Costs are as follows:
Delivered after 8:30 p.m., Saturday, March 30
30 eggs for $25
50 eggs for $40
Picked up at the Solon Library, Saturday, March 23
30 eggs for $22
50 eggs for $35
A personalized Easter Bunny letter is available for $5.00.
We have chosen to not increase prices in the past three years for this service project. Most participants are young families, and raising prices could be doing them a disservice. Our GFWC Solon Women’s Club members receive satisfaction knowing that they are bringing joy to the family’s Easter morning routine. Additional donations for the dugouts would be accepted.
