The Annual Easter Egg Hunt was held at the Harvey C. Noone American Legion Post 954 in Churchville. Due to early morning rains it was held inside the Legion Hall. Riga Recreation Supervisor Dave Thomas handled the jelly bean jars and raffles while Churchville Lion Marty Molinari and LEO Club members Olivia, Jenn and Maria along with Club Advisor Janelle Hernandez helped with handing out eggs and making the Easter Bunny a big hit. The event was a collaborative effort of the Churchville Lions Club, Town of Riga, American Legion, and the LEO Club.

Non-perishable food donations from Fairbanks Elementary School in February, delivered by the Churchville Lions to Union Congregational Church, amounted to about one-third of the items on the shelves shown here. The balance came from UCC’s network of neighboring churches, markets and dairies. The drive-thru distribution system was able to feed 37 families in March. Distribution is made the fourth Wednesday of each month between 4 and 5 p.m. For information, call 293-1665. Provided information and photo.
