Easter bunny hopping with joy
THIS YEAR'S Easter Egg Project run by Junior Chamber Galway was, once again, an astounding success. Firstly members of Junior Chamber Galway, along with a couple of Easter bunnies, attended a party in St Joseph's Special School on the March 27 and Easter eggs sponsored by Mars Ireland were given to the children. On Easter Sunday at Masses in Knocknacarra, Mervue and Claregalway Mass-goers donated more than 400 eggs. The Easter bunny attended outside the churches and helped distribute sweets, again sponsored by Mars Ireland, to children as they left. The donated Easter eggs were distributed to numerous charities within the Galway area on Easter Sunday (John Paul Centre, St Vincent De Paul, Westside and Waterside House, Club Failte to name but a few). The response to the project was overwhelming according to Junior Chamber Galway and the generosity shown superb - special thanks go to all the children who donated one of their Easter eggs. On Easter Sunday the Easter bunny and Junior Chamber members also visited the paediatric unit in University College Hospital, Galway and distributed eggs
