**Please note** The Chamber of Commerce is excited to have such a large number of its members attend monthly luncheons. Unfortunately, due to the large number of last minute Chamber luncheon attendees a policy has been put into place by the Chamber Board of Directors. This policy started in APRIL 2005; anyone who responds after the R.s.v.p. cut-off time (9:00 a.m. the Tuesday before the luncheon) or shows up without an R.s.v.p. may be charged an additional $10. If an R.s.v.p. is received and they do not attend the luncheon there may be a $10 charged for the meal. The decision was made to charge this amount to compensate our Chamber member restaurants for the last minute adjusts they must make to their menus.

There were 16 newborn to two year old hunters, 37 three to five year olds, 35 six to eight year olds, and 16 nine to twelve year olds totaling to 104 egg hunt participants. The three children from each age group that collected the most eggs received one of these great prizes: filled Easter baskets, bubble guns, toys and candy, or a Wal-Mart gift card. All prizes were donations from Wal-Mart St. Robert, the Wal-Mart Foundation, Jackson Hewitt, and Sonic. The Easter Bunny was also there for pictures and to help kids hunt for his eggs.
