On April 1, 2023, the FreeMasons from Fidelity Lodge #10, and the Shriners from Azeem Temple #102, presented their 16th Annual Easter Egg Eggtravaganza at the Jackie Robinson YMCA which has hosted it for the last 12 years.
Along with the staff coordinated by Selma Ochoa, Worshipful Master Gabriel Rose, District Deputy Jason Sevier, Azeem Temple #102, and many of the brothers of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge affiliated houses, they were assisted by Community Service Officer Christopher Jones and his group of youth volunteers that made this event get off without a glitch.
Many children benefited and had wonderful experiences collecting the elusive Easter eggs hidden among various objects around the beautiful ball field. Included on the field was a jumper-slide contributed by Cali Venture Party Rentals.
There were smiles all over as the search for the Golden Eggs was turned in for a special prize. Prizes included scooters, a tricycle, easter baskets, and YMCA memberships. After the day’s events, the Brothers traveled to the McDonald House Rady’s Children’s Hospital to give Easter baskets to the children, showing their love of community service.
Future planning is already underway for the 17th Annual Eggtravaganza 2024.
