Mount Prospect Lions Club Easter Egg Hunt for the Visually Impaired

The Easter Bunny likely will be wearing a yellow Mount Prospect Lions Club service vest once again on Sunday, April 27 when visually impaired children from the area eagerly set out in search of specially designed Easter eggs that beep and talk.  The local service club is organizing this Easter Egg Hunt for the Visually Impaired, which will run from 1:00-3:00 p.m. that day at the Westbrook School at Gillet Center, 201 S. Evanston Avenue in Arlington Heights. 

Children will exchange the beeping/talking eggs for candy and prizes.  An ice-cream social will follow inside the school.  Children with normal vision also will be able to participate in the egg hunt by wearing a blindfold to experience what it means to lose the use of their eyes.
