Laughter and excitement filled the air at the Sons and Daughters of Guam Club, Inc. on March 15th as families from all over the community gathered for a day of Easter fun. Held at 334 Willie James Jones Ave, this free event brought together children, parents, and volunteers for a joyful celebration packed with games, crafts, dancing, and, of course, Easter egg hunts.
The event featured two separate egg hunts to ensure fun for all ages: one for children aged six and under and another for those seven and older. The thrill of the hunt was visible on the faces of eager participants as they raced to find colorful eggs hidden throughout the area. Cheers and laughter erupted each time a child discovered a special egg, making for an unforgettable experience.
Adding to the excitement, the Easter Bunny made a special appearance, delighting children and families by posing in photos and sharing in the festivities. Many parents expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to create cherished memories with their little ones in a warm and welcoming environment.
“This was a beautiful event that truly captured the spirit of Easter and unity,” said one grateful parent. “Our kids had an amazing time, and we’re so appreciative of everyone who made this happen.”
Beyond the egg hunts, attendees enjoyed a variety of activities designed to bring the community together. Kids got creative with arts and crafts, played engaging games, and danced to festive music. The event was an all-inclusive celebration, ensuring that every family, regardless of background, felt welcomed and valued.
The success of this community gathering was thanks to the demanding work of co-chairs Joyce Borja and John Quichocho, whose dedication did not go unnoticed. President Antolin Taijeron made his way around, speaking and lending a helping hand in ensuring the program was a success.
“The important thing about doing the Easter egg hunt is bringing the youth and community together so they can also learn more about our culture,” Joyce Borja added.
The Sons and Daughters of Guam Club, Inc. continues to be a cornerstone of the local Chamorro community, providing meaningful events and programs that celebrate culture, family, and connection. With another successful Easter celebration in the books, families are already looking forward to next year’s festivities.
