Community Corner
Egg Hunts, Easter Bunny and Special Services
This week we recommend taking the escape with the entire family.
Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it.
Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.
But this weekend, we'd like to recommend a little family time—with an Easter twist.
