Easter Egg Hunt ‘ROAR‘"â€"ed with 800 kids, huge food donation for FareShare By CHERYL ELLIOT Special to the North News Residents turned out in droves for the first River Oaks Association of Residents Easter Egg Hunt held at the River Oaks Recreation Centre on Sunday. About 800 children participated in the hunt, estimated Lesley Carnovale, ROAR‘s social commitâ€" tee chair. "We ran out of candy and had to buy more," she said. "We had a great turnout." _ Admission to the hunt was a nonâ€"perishable food donation for the Oakville FareShare foodbank. "The people came through for us," Carnovale said. "The foodbank estimated we got between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds of food." Local public officials also attended the hunt. Mayor Ann Mulvale, Councillors Liz Behrens and Sean Weir, and trustees Debbie Marklew and Gerry O‘Halloran picked out the 15 winners in the coloring contest. Carnovale said ROAR was indebted to the 12th Oakville Pathfinders and the Clowns in Christ from St. John‘s United Church for keeping the large crowd entertained.

Oakville‘s first Easter Parade will take place this Saturday, April 10th, The parade is sponsored by a number of local churches representâ€" ing 10 different denominations.

Grand marshals leading the parade will be Mayor Ann Mulvale, and Paul and Eleanor Henderson. "All you hear is bad press about teenagers," said Carnovale. "These two groups were outstanding." ROAR president, Bob McIntosh also reported brisk sales of associaâ€" tion memberships at the Easter Egg Hunt.

Parents objected to a motion put forward by Scheel requesting an official report from the Halton Board of Education on the computer program in place at River Oaks Public School. Scheel told this reporter that he will take his motion off the books at the next school board meeting, but expects that the Board will be supâ€" plying him with that information soon. The motion to write to the school board was opposed by directors Sue Ramsayâ€"Roddick and (her husband) Gord Roddick who stated the school is only supported by a third of the River Oaks population, and they felt it was a Parentâ€"Teacher concern. "We should take a stand as a committee," said McIntosh. "I don‘t think this matter is over yet." The next ROAR meeting will be held on May 6th at River Oaks Public School. .i(’fms ickâ€"up pdelivér;, with .3 items Includes 1 tb. chicken wings COUPON OFFER ONLY!
