While local children raced across a field to grab Easter eggs at the City of Menifee’s annual Spring Fest across town, residents who are a bit older had fun with their own Easter Egg Hunt in a special event held Saturday at the Center of Spiritual Living on Murrieta Road. More than 100 seniors attended.

The Center has become a hub of activity on the weekends since longtime resident Cynthia Nemelka formed a non-profit and signed a 5-year lease to hold FREE charitable and Senior 55+ events and programs at the Center on Fridays and Saturdays. A Children’s Business Fair was held there recently, Arts Council Menifee musical events have been held there, and there is a weekly dance party for seniors on Saturdays from 3-6 p.m.

Saturday afternoon’s event gave local seniors the opportunity to have their own Easter party. Guests chose 8 eggs from their centerpieces that contained cash or candy. Then everyone was able to pick a special "numbered egg" that indicated their number in line for a trip to the Prize Wall containing over $1,500 worth of cash and prizes.
