Another year has passed and so has our annual Bunny Hop event. As a board member of the Southern Marin Mothers Club, I enjoy being a member of our Events Team. I share this responsibility with two additional moms and we always have a great time planning and carrying out our events. I will admit that the preparation and execution is not stress free, but in the end, we love that we are able to provide a family friendly event that is free to all of our members. We also rely on our members to volunteer to help us set-up before, work during and clean-up after the event. Of the four large annual events that our team hosts, this event is the diciest in regards to weather. We generally host approximately 250 adults and maybe 100 babies & toddlers. So suffice it to say, we are very concerned about weather since this event is outside. All week, we were checking out the weather forecast, which was consistently predicting rain. In fact, it was raining 20 minutes before the event started. Yet at 20 till 10:00 am the rain stopped and the sun came out. While the wind was quite amazing at times, one of my event co-chairs was worried the jumpy might fly away, all went well. The petting zoo came on time. The kids loved the egg hunt. The Easter Bunny showed up for photo opps and many local vendors delivered & donated cupcakes and cookies as scheduled!

We also always host a fundraising drive and I am happy to say that we raised many much needed items for the Family Service Agency of Marin. This is an organization that helps Marin families in need. I feel that this, more than providing a fun filled day for our members, is our biggest reward. I am so grateful that our members always remember to bring a donation to help whatever organization we have chosen to help out for that event.

Perhaps this is the best reward for being a Realtor®. You are able to live in, work in & give back to the community in which you live.
