Neighborhood Egg Hunt 2026

/ Anna White

It’s that time of year again! We are excited to host our annual neighborhood Egg Hunt with Linden Civic Association, and we need your help.

The Big Event:

  • When: Saturday, March 28, 2026
  • Time: Arrive at 11:00 AM
  • The Hunt Begins: 11:20 AM SHARP!

A quick note on timing: To ensure every little hunter gets their fair share, please arrive on time. We will also likely be limiting the number of eggs per child this year so that no one goes home with an empty basket

How You Can Help:

  • Donations: We are looking for plastic eggs and bags of candy. Chalk, bubbles, and games of all types are also welcome. You can drop these off at anytime* or just bring them on the day!
  • Financial Contributions: If you’d prefer to provide a financial contribution, scan the QR code on the flyer above or click here: https://app.simplidues.com/group?g=northwoodside
  • Sip & Stuff Night: Join us for some wine, cheese, and laughs as we prep the eggs Wednesday, March 25th at 8:00 PM*.
  • Day-Of Crew: We need volunteers on the day of the hunt to help with setup, running the games, and cleanup. If you have some extra hands to lend, please get in touch*!

    * Contact Luisa at email address listed above for address or to volunteer.

We can’t wait to see all of you there for a morning of hopping, hunting, and neighborhood fun!

Flat Tire-Repair Workshops

/ Anna White

A flat tire is one of the most common mishaps that can occur while riding a bike. A piece of metal, glass, or even a thorn can end an otherwise enjoyable ride. I am offering a free hands-on workshop to show you how to repair a flat tire while on the road or trail. At the end of the two-hour session you will know how to remove a damaged wheel, identify the cause of the flat, locate the puncture, repair the inner tube, and what basic tools you should carry to take care of such an emergency. All materials, including patches, cement, practice tubes, and written step-by-step instructions will be provided.

Sessions will be limited to two participants, ages 16 and up, and will be held outdoors on my deck with plenty of spacing between us. Masks will be required. Bring your bikes to practice removing a wheel and mounting it when the repair is completed. We will practice patching a puncture on inner tubes that I provide. I plan to hold these sessions through the spring and summer. If interested, please contact me to schedule our workshop.
